When I pulled that up, what should appear at the top of the page (along with other auctions) but another one of BangyBangs. With all the hundreds of 50+ year old tubes he has up for sale I never cease to be amazed that every single last one of them has absolutely perfect silkscreening. Flawless. He's obviously found the tube equivalent of the fountain of youth.

I think that is the seller that threatened to call the tube sellers association of America on me. Vaguely remember a convo about small halo 6922 being advertised as made in Holland on the print, but mentioned UK at least 2x in the ad. Think I asked why he never shows the factory code in the blurry pics.

Not the TSAA? OMG. A brutal agency I'm sure. I hope you apologized profusely to appease him? LOL!

Chinese tubes don't have factory codes, right? :grinning:

I sent him (Old Guy Radiola/Mr. BangyBang) a message via Ebay a year or so ago about a pair of 6dj8's he was parading as Telefunkens. There was nothing about them that was Telefunken. Can't say who made them for sure, but I had a pair of cheap Chinese tubes in the stash that (minus the flawless Telefunken screen print) appeared identical to what he was selling. His reply started out telling me how he'd forgotten more about tubes than I'd ever know, I didn't have a clue what I was talking about and was a complete idiot, and finally if I didn't want to buy his tubes to f*ck off (with no asterisk). Vicious, as are most when called out on a fraud.

Hey AC I snagged the 58's, my guess is they are 3x Foton's based on that rhombus on the right tube? $25.

If AC is too busy, you can always send them to me for testing. I promise not to waste postage by returning any bad ones...I'll just chunk them here. Trust me. :wink:

On a less un-serious note, the tubes I sent for cryo treatment came back yesterday. I'll spend some time with them this weekend. Is cryo treating tubes utter and complete BS, or is there some benefit? Time to find out...

I've had some tubes previously cryo treated. It didn't make a difference in sound quality. Whether they can withstand more force around the tube is anyone's best guess.

What are your impressions of them, they are in my top 5 of all the tubes I have heard.

All maxed out on the Foton 3x, I'll post links to whatever I find here guys

I like the sound of them a lot, but they're microphonic on and off so I don't listen to them that often. But I got some Herbie dampers the other day that I need to try out with them when I get a chance.

Some very cheap mid 60's Foton's.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/8-x-NEW-6N...-VERY-RARE-1967-NOS-NIB-MILITARY/223017730950

https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-x-NEW-6...-VERY-RARE-1965-NOS-NIB-MILITARY/223017734876

These may be Foton's as well. Not sure tbh.

He's selling pairs 65's for much more, so I'd be cautious of quality. i.e. test the fk out of them :)''

That last link are Reflektor double mica.

Hey bro!.

Just get the 6c/f8g adapter and get the Jan KR 6c8g and save a bunch of money...This tube is way surpassed the Siemens CCa gray, in my opinion.
I had the Siemens gray, it's my own experience...Currently, my Jan 6c8g KR tube is ONLY tubing I play.

My apology to you, I just remember you have MJ2. So you can't have the 6c8g adapter.
However, you can do the 6sn7 adapter, get TS chromdorm or Jan KR 6sn7 still awesome...

my 2 cents for today...

Have you every used the 6f8g as a power tube?
