Thanks guys. I will see what @kolkoo will suggest after the new year :D aside from the 100% positive feedback he has a lot of supporters here. He must be doing something right :)

TBH my recommendation was a paid advertisement.

Yeah, but you're cheap. The extra publicity was probably worth both cents. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes::stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Really good price on a quad of 1948 JW Western Electric 396A. Pinched waist to boot.

Pinched waist WE396A eh? xD Sick.

I have received the pair of 7316 ct0 delta8J Heerlen D-Getter Long Plates! It did not even get stopped at customs when it had the price stamped on it > 200$. I've had packages that cost like 35$ stopped and had to pay to get them released. Go figure...

Yeah this seems to happen a lot. My brother sent me a few hundred bucks worth of gear like 20 years ago and it sailed right through. My dad sent some gifts for my kids and we got reamed, had to pay more than the gifts were worth in customs, taxes, and imaginary charges. No rhyme or reason.

I listened with my 7316 long plate foil d getter last night, and that tube continues to impress. The micro detail, and layers in the midrange is stunning. This tube takes you on an adventure, and it is fun as heck hearing stuff that I have never before heard in the recording, using other tubes. The 7316 does all this while still sounding smooth and dynamic at the same time.

7316 long plate foild d getter = endgame. :o2smile:

Hello, first time tube buyer looking for some advice.

So i have a Mjolnir 2 coming in and i want to replace the stock tubes with let's say a worthwhile upgrade below 100€ a pair where i don't feel bad leaving the amp on all day.
I have been eyeing some 5670 JAN GE NOS with green stamps but i don't want to buy something that won't fit my music preferences and headphones :)

This would be a killer affordable first pair, that will sound better than stock tubes, and won't break the bank.

That looks nice but shipping and import costs will easily double the price :frowning2:

Still a good deal at 2x the price IMO. I have a reputation for being a GE hater so take this FWIW, but if you want to go with a 5670 / 2C51 / 396A type tube, look for some '50's Foton 6N3P's or Western Electric 396A's or even some Sylvania 2C51's. You know you'll need adapters for that tube type, right?
