Pain taking pics of everything.

Waaaah.

Waaaah.

1 more wisecrack like that I'm going to banish you into using GE only tubes.

Got a trio of the 1950s TS blackplate 12AT7WA on the way for $28. Now I need more adapters. I suppose I could just switch them around but the tubes always feel too fragile to do that.

You get them from stevestonaudiosales? Remember a trio being listed by him. My last 2 tubes Blackburn 12AT7 are microphonic from that seller. Though all the others are fine.

TK these TS 12AT7WA's are opening up very, very nicely. Separation and beautiful nuances within the soundstage keep getting more and more locked in. And the bass !!!
If the PW's really do blow these away I think I just might cry. Thanks again man. Have 12 hours and counting on the burn-in.

You using both tubes? I ask because checking my testing records, tube 2 has 2 major shorts.




Only if you listen to lame bands like Toto and Jefferson Starship. Everything is fine on the shorts music wise.

Hahahahahahaha that's hilarious!

Ain't it great to have Sammy back from the dead.

Most likely keeping them bro. Seller doesn't know they are PW imo. He got a single 59 PW for around 200 obo I think.

The two PW singles he has are both double getter post.

Don't bother with this seller.

Ordered an alleged "TESTS EXCELLENT AT 100%" Mullard Mitcham TK1 12at7 from him a month ago. Shipment appeared to get lost. Seller refunded. Parcel shows up today, a month late (first class took a month??) and the tube tests virtually dead on one triode, and a fraction above min spec on the other triode...

Now I have to return it and pay to do so. So I'm going to be paying to ship a dead tube that took a month to arrive from Illinois to Cali...

Yep that’s the one. Hopefully at least 2 of the 3 are good.

Ouch. That's brutal.

So then the question becomes, what has become of ThurstonX, aka The Prophet.

He and Rangy are missed....
