Curious what those sound like?

Hard to say exactly with 2 or 3 pairs on tubes in the chain. Bass is very good a strong point, holographic like the 7316 long plates. Detail and seperation is very good. Euphoric if that is the correct term at certain frequencies. Classic Rock is extremely good with this tube. 80's metal I don't particularly like much with this tube. If anyone has a coherent opinion on these tube, I'd like to hear some coherence on the sound sig. From a good price they are quality tubes.


This seller has 3 singles, no testing numbers and high USA shipping though.

Just won this for $83. Not expecting a proper testing pair hopefully usable.

Well, the seller states he tested them at 375 RPM's on his Hamburger tester. His readings would indicate that you should get around 1250 (raw reading) on your 752, and if it's way less than that I'd be hittin' him up for a refund.

The price I paid with $22 shipping is in the totally returnable category (worth it monetarily).
I have an updated top 15 list if anybody`s interested in confirming to my 100% unbiased list. These are the tubes you guys should be listening to. Please confirm to my "factually challenged" top tubes list.

Has anybody come up with a Corona virus mask for your favorite 9 pinners including the far bigger than normal 9 pin tubes (396A, 2C51,5670) family
in size compared to the other Lyr compatible tubes?

I see my beloved Brimar did not make the cut and those are great tubes. . .that speaks volumes for how good the tubes on that list must be.

Yeah you are right the Brimar ECC82 square getter are too good leave off the list. Foton 6N3P 1957 triple mica are on the list as well. Took off 1 Stuttgart pair as I cannot tell a difference sonically between the 2x and 3x mica.

After reading your tube ranking yesterday, I decided to roll my 7316 back in, after my second Hamburg Long Plate ECC82 went noisy, and it is nice to be back to the top. Nothing can touch the 7316 Long Plate Foil D Getter, and it won't be leaving my amp for a good while. There is a reason it is your number 1, and it is mine as well. I thought the grass might be greener, with the Hamburg LP, but it really was not. Back to pure bliss!

I found with the entire ECC82 line of tubes, noisy tubes were bad testing Gm wise and/or very unbalanced sections. Pretty sure I mentioned these tubes earlier in the thread. Sent back quite a few pairs back to sellers on Ebay. The noisy tubes may also be affected by things other than Gm being very low testing. Most of these sellers were European based. Think 1 pair was Canadian 2 US based. The seller in the UK that I got my Brimar ECC82 is a honest seller. There are also trusted US sellers, got 4 Blackburn ECC82 57 singles that I were able to match into 2 high testing well matched pairs. Around $420 for 2 pairs where I'm seeing very high prices of these tubes overseas.

Anybody find this tube suspect? Printing, font? no acid etch, (C) instead of (R). Tube size might be an ECC88, with gold plated pins? Not long bottle E88CC?

Here is another. 1960 Mitcham 7L0, Heerlen 7L0 would be a 1956 PW I believe and worth a boat ton more money than the Mullard.

Printing and font, is unlike any Amperex tube I have seen.

 

[Ripper2860]

So that makes it a one-of-a-kind collectible, then? Woohoo! Cheap at at twice the asking price!

All 'Halland' made Amperexes look like that. Besides, it's 100% guaranteed to work 'MEXCELLENT'. But what's with the apostrophes? They're missing!! BangyBang must have purchased a grammar checker. But it seems it can't be used in conjunction with a spell checker. .

Does that tube look to you to be a ECC88 or PCC88 size wise. I know my long bottle 6922 and CCa PW tubes are bigger in size than my PCC88 PW pairs though I only have Hamburg PW currently. Should I purchase? What can go wrong besides being Friday the 13th?

Should you purchase? From Bangybang? What kind of question is that? Of course you should. Quickly too, before someone else jumps on it. Where else can you overspend for fake tubes? Sheeez, TK. Have you been drinking?

With a few recent acquisitions I totally ran out of room for storage, so I came up with a new scheme. Boxes take up so much room, and this is way more compact. Quite simple to find what I need too: the tubes on the left are for audio, and the tubes on the right are for audio. So easy even I can do it.

Just drinking hand sanitizer, safety first. Unfortunately need a pair of these fake a$$ tubes, 1 is not enough sadly. Without seeing a change code I don't know if it's a ECC88 or PCC88. Maybe someone other than me can identify it. On an unrelated note I believe the pair in my avatar is fraudulent. Tall bottle, D getter 7L4 change code,1958 acid etching, 2 star PQ. Obvious fake. I'd love a pair of reasonably priced 7316 long plate Or D or square getter GEC A2900 though. Pardon me for a few, need to drink some more sanitizer for medical purposes. If you don't see me posting I probably will be blind as a bat.
