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. :)

Nice.
What's that tube in the middle?

Man, I've been looking all over for that. It's the low emission GE with one shorted triode I was going to send to @Ripper2860 . Still waiting for him to PayPal me the $200 so I haven't gotten all panic-ey about it, but thanks!!! :)

Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna be doing that 2x GE Single Triode 6SN7s on Dual Mono Lyr 3s thing you suggested. Sorry. :unamused:

Wow. And no, it wasn't me. :)

Time to Ebay the Mullard CV4003 stash I have...never much cared for them anyway.

I almost jumped on this, but instead used the money for a 6 roll pack of Charmin toilet paper. :unamused:

*You* got that? Jerk. I've had that 6 roll pack on my watch list for 3 days now. Fine. I'm goin' after the hand sanitizer, so stay away. :)

Guys, get with the program. A cupboard full of beer is both nutritious and protects you from viruses. You just let the bottle foam over a bit when opening and it cleans your hands at the same time...hand sanitizer is for wallflowers who don't drink :D

First off I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe in these crazy times.

Has anyone who purchased the Mini-Mullard’s CV3986/6021 from Tubemonger tried these tubes yet to see if they like them?
Just curious as these are my favorite tubes.

Tubemonger did receive the second batch.

I purchased a pair and use them with my Schiit Valhalla 2 amp. Highly recommended.

I'd love to hear some general recommendations and experiences for decent 6922 family tubes in the $100-150 per pair- price bracket. They'd go into a Liquid Platinum, but apparently that shouldn't matter (as in good tubes are good tubes)? If nothing else, my plan is to just pick a $100 6922 pair on ebay and hope it's good, but that seems a bit risky.

Are there any red flags one should look out for when buying tubes? I'd love to avoid making any massive mistakes this time.

Buy NOS would be risky as you say unless you are very sure of the seller's reputation...

I would suggest a pair of these Genalex Gold Pin Lion Reissue 6922.. very balanced in my experience and would always offer a solid reference for any other tube rolling adventures you may care to undertake in the future..
