I'm hoping these things finally get noticed and get popular....I'm sat on over 100 of 6n3p variants from 69, through to 79.....My two favorites are nickel pin Reflektors 1970 6n3p-I Quad Mica, gold grid, dual wire getters (received a batch, all like new condition), and a batch of 1973 unbranded export nickel pin 6n3p dual wire getter. Most of the ones I have are all pretty decent, but these two batches just seem to stand above the rest in terms of soundstage and detail. They're beating almost all of my other tubes as my favorites at the moment.

Ok all you self anointed experts of the glass. If you have time to kill and looking to sound off with your expert opinion, Please go into my personal info and check out my stock of tubes.
EVERYONE knows I don’t know my A$$ from a hole in the ground due to my inexperience ONLY so your opinion is valued.
How many ....
1) are really good
2) descent
3) don’t know
4) bro those really suck.
I’m going to go through all of them eventually and my ears are all what counts, but that’s where I want to see if I’m hearing what you guys hear. I know it’s my gear and the synergy with my HP’s also play a huge role in what we all hear. Something different and It’s all in fun so does anyone want to play?
If anyone does, I’d be shocked and if so, thank you bro’s.

#2 tells me you're headed down the Rabbit Hole in a schiitfire fury. Enjoy the ride
Nothing wrong with most of your tubes, and as you say, you need to make that call yourself, so I'll just say this: sell most of those "cans" and get yourself some real transducers. I know it's nearly verboten! in this hallowed thread, but the cans (i.e., transducers) are going to make the biggest difference. Your amps are good, too (said the man with a Lyr 1 and... ???). That said, no way in hell I'm going to tell you what cans to buy. I'm pretty much a planar magnetic man, though I've never splashed serious cash on high-end dynamics. Probably some day, but no day soon. I don't want to knock your Hifiman 400i as I've never heard them, but I've read enough comparisons to feel confident they're not going to touch my HE-5LE, HE-500 and HE-560.

I'm saving up right now for a pair of Seimen's Cca's from the 60s. Pray for my wallet please. Appreciate the offer though!
My silver shields (off ebay) have been greatHope you can find a good pair at a decent price. Definitely go for the grey shields, as all the long time Siemens freaks herein will tell you.
Brent jesse also mentioned to me that his feedback does not suggest the gray shields are necessarily better.
Id say go the gray unless you find silver shields considerably cheaper. Which you probably will
But obviously that’s up to you

Think as you get more experienced in rolling, you may find the ECC88 tubes at the top of your for sale list. There are far better Heelen tubes out there like the E188CC, CCa, d getter E88CC. You can add that pair of PW and most of those 2C51 variants to the top of your keep list. The 73 Philips E88CC is a good set. Not a fan of Tesla, quite like the Belmar CV2492. Basically my opinion of course. I don't have your equipment ears gear etc. What is most important is what you like.

These?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Lot-of-10-6N3P-I-Analog-of-6CC42-6385-5670-2C51-/222708708629?
They're the ones that came like new, and are the ones I'm loving. Just put 80 hours on a pair from 1970 (I got three years in my batch - 70 - 72), and they really opened up after the 60 hour mark, it was almost like a switch was flicked.
Very good news
Ive been waiting well over 2 weeks for them to get here. Just looked at my order and they “just” shipped yesterday. Damn, got at least another week. Looking forward to hearing these babies.

Mine were shipped within 2 days, tooks weeks to get here though. I wouldn't rely on the data you get back from ebay shipping, from those countries it's usually incorrect. Mine did take around a month to arrive though.

No need to speculate, both the Ukraine and Russia provide detailed tracking information on their Postal websites. Search for the official Postal website, find the 'English' option, enter your tracking number, and you will have detailed station to station tracking from acceptance to international departure. When it reaches international departure, USPS is notified and you can pick up tracking on the USPS website.
EBay can only provide the tracking number when it is registered automatically through their shipping process, or when it is provided separately by the seller. Never had an inconsistency with eBay's tracking reports, a time lag yes, but not inconsistency. With a two week delay, if that is the case, I would look to a stock issue. But you can easily find out by just asking the seller. And you can also check the Postal website for the acceptance date.

great info, thanks very much. I've always had erratic info from ebay from certain places, so I'll try as you suggest.
