I'm must be goofy. I saw hear not heat.
The 6sn7 seem to need volume to extract dynamics and detail in the lyr. Trying to listen to them before dozing off bores me to frustration not dreamland. Crank em up and they are better than I expect from the chain. Moral.. no headphones in bed

All: found this auction on ebay. Anybody here heard these?

These are supposed to be the Holy Grail of 5670 tubes. I have never seen a pair priced reasonably enough to buy. I have said I am done buying tubes for my MJ2. well, these priced under $125 would change that. I am going to bid on these....

I'd say the same goes for the 6C8Gs, at least the Ken-Rads i'm rolling now. Reckon that holds true for the others.

My take exactly.

They just shot up in price! Looks like it went from $59/$69 to $99 bucks without a bid lol. Guess he was reacting to the watch list.

I will not be bidding anymore.....

 

[L0rdGwyn]

Yeah I find that pretty irritating, when they were first posted, starting bid was $29...let the market decide! lol

I know they are supposed to be great, but I can't imagine the difference between them and the other 5670's is gigantic

Indeed. You need the power to project the full soundstage detail, additionally, at lower SPL I believe our sensitivity across the FR changes.
A tube with a V-shaped response is probably better for low power/low level listening. IMHO.

True dat.

Started out at $29.99. Seller is essentially bidding up themselves.

Maybe he'll "win"

That sellers response to me in a message was.

 

[Guidostrunk]

I'll keep him on my black list. Lol

 

[TK16]

Screw that seller I am taking those tubes off my watch list.

I received a message that basically said the same thing: "I have received multiple offers already, although no one has bid. People don't seem to understand the auction process, or are afraid to get into bidding wars. I myself like to snipe auctions and enter at the last minute."

Everyone understands the process; nobody wants to get into bidding wars.
