Thankfully, my '57 pair of Blackburns were as quiet as my better testing '58's!

Sadly, Tube Depot is out of the Telefunken G73R, 'Black Beauties'. Hopfully some others took advantage of these Tele's when they were in stock and on sale. These tubes are quite impressive.
As good as the Blackburn Mullards are, and the are VERY good, I'd take the G73R if they were available........... maybe even at full price of $800 / pair.

I'll post my impressions when i have a bit more free time...................gotta go listen to my Stealth Black Beauties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not going to be bidding on the pair ending Sat listed on E-Bay.

Good on you not bidding on the Blackburn ECC82 square getter, gives us non Blackburn ECC82 owners a chance to snag those.

I was referring to bidding on the the G73R, not the Blackburns. I like the Blackburns..........................but really LOVE the Tele G73R!

I would not bid on those Tele G73R, they were first prototype. Telefunken ECC88 based. Needed cheap Tele tubes with diamond bottom.

Why do you think that pair was a prototype Tele? All the pictures I have found also had Telefunken diamonds between the pins of the G73R.

At any rate, I'm SURE you have the black painting part down by now so we should see plenty more of these rare tubes very soon!!!

My latest invention, charge a boat full of money for $40 worth of mediocre sounding junk.

Just snagged another Valvo Hamburg 57 PW PCC88 single. Does anybody have a spare single?

I Haven't tried the HD700, but have used the HD600 quite a bit. Here are some nice tubes in that price range, but need adapters to use...

RT Suresnes ECC81 (relaxing and musical with a bit of warmth)
Blackburn ECC81 Vf3 (laid back with a slight dark/tubey sound)
50s/60s Foton 6n3p (one of the best all around tubes)
RT Suresnes ECC82/5814/H-6189 (very energetic and a bit bright)

I agree on the Foton. For the money, you can’t go wrong.

If your located in the USA, I have several pairs of tubes in my signature that are in your price range. What amp are you using?

Thank you for the suggestion . I tray to search for the Foton 6n3p + the adapter and actually I gut lost so many result

If it isn’t to much to ask can you give my link for the tube and adapter

For that can, I would look into something warmish. Something like Heerlen or Mullard Blackburn or Mitcham ECC81. The ECC81 needs an adapter to be used in Lyr 2. You have Foton or Reflektor 3x 6N3P can be used with a different adapter. Foton or Reflektor 6N3P I find better than the ECC81's I mentioned earlier. EBay has a ton of different 6N3P.
