I commend you for reading through the thread bro, very few people take that advice to heart, where did you start? 6N3P, 396A, 2C51 talk was roughly a year iirc before the 12AT7, 12AU7 talk starting August last year. Maybe summer 2017? Or was it 2016, long time ago.

Lol. I started early on (probably around the start of the 2C51 craze when I bought my Lyr) and also picked up a Feliks Espressivo MKII, got hooked on the 6C8G. I've been gone a while, picking back up at Aug. 2018 to get caught up.

Never tried the 6C8G, that 7316 pair I linked is supposed to be really really good, think Brent Jessee has them for $600 a pair. @jb77 has a pair if you want to ask him about them.

I wish the Valhalla 2 tube-rolling thread was this active. I come here to parse through the wonderful tube exploits and try to decipher what may and may not apply to my VH2. @AuditoryCanvas has been a great help, and so has @bcowen -- if you can tolerate his antics!!

Tempting! I just scored a pair of angled getter Telefunken ECC81 for $50 after reading your recommendation about a hundred pages ago.

Edit - I think the recommendation might've been AC's.

@jb77 made the mistake of asking my opinion on a couple sets of tubes, after about 20 pairs of tubes and a new MJ2 he wound up here.

Yea I did, it’s all TK16’s fault....lol

@jb77Where are you at bro reading the thread? If you go back about another year from where you started, you will be at the 396A,2C51, 5670 revolution. Highlights from that are the Foton and Reflektor 6N3P 2x and 3x mica, Western Electric 396A, TS 2C51, Tesla 6CC41 D getters. If you see any 50's Tesla 6CC41 D getters grab them. These are as good or bit better than the Foton 6N3P. Tesla 6CC41 and Russian 6N2P do not need an adapter. Though I did not like the 6N2P nearly as much as the 6N3P.

On page 1254, didn’t get to read as far as I wanted as my wife’s new computer came yesterday so last night we were setting it up,
Cool thanks I’ll check out the info on 396A,2C51,5670 etc.

Thanks for the tip if I see any 50’s Tesla 6CC41 D getters I’ll grab them!

You audio tube pusher. You opened him up with gateway tubes such as 6N3P / 396A and now that he's had a taste he'll probably move on to harder stuff like the ECC82 / 6C8Gs. Soon he'll be out on the streets asking someone for just a small hit of Deoxit pin cleaner.

You bad man.

Lol yea too late on the ECC82’s

Soon he'll be out on the streets asking someone for just a small hit of Deoxit pin cleaner.

You bad man.

ROFLMAO........yea too late for that I already ordered(a while ago)a Deoxit pin from Brent Jessee but it was on back order so I should get it Monday!

Too late on the ECC82, think he has more than I do, that fukcr turned me onto the 7316 D-getter and Brimar 12AU7 square getter. Thanks for that.

Lol yep I’m that fuker!

Does that Deoxit work? , think I need a years worth of doses in 1 huge needle.

Not sure but I’ll let you know when I use it.

 

[jb77]

Just bought a pair of the 7316 Heerlen D getters, not received yet. Has another listing, will accept a fair offer.

I might get this pair but wanted to see if @mattrudy80 or someone else wanted them first as I have 2 good pairs of the 7316 Beckman labels

@mattrudy80 IMHO the 7316 are amazing tubes, I am currently listening to them in my LP waiting for my MJ2 to arrive, they are in my top 3 for a 3 way shootout between: 1.Mullard Blackburn ECC82 long plate squar getter UK B- factory code 2.Brimar CV491/12AU7/ECC82 Long Plate Square Getter England 1958 and 3.Amperex Holland foil D getter 7316 / 12au7 1958 (Beckman label) pictures below of the 7316 Beckman label I have

@jb77 They're all yours. I'm going to see what this auction does:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-7316-ECC...003419?hash=item443969ae9b:g:WRYAAOSwmkBcDwpS
Thanks for giving me a shot at them!

Edit - those look like ring getter. I think I'll hold off a bit. I have 5 pairs incoming. Lol.

 

[mattrudy80]

@jb77 Have you tried the 801S that some rave about?

Think your better off with that Blackburn pair I linked instead of this pair.

Have not seen the D getter Tesla 6CC41 in a long time but if I find any I'll let you know.

Just in case anyone missed out on one of these deals in the past, BangyBang has more tubes that have been fully tested by the BangyBang technical department but are still in the factory sealed cartons. Don't miss out this time.

[Ripper2860]

Hmmmm. Maybe they tested the boxes and not the tubes.

No problem and hopefully that auction goes well, if your bidding on it that is, For myself atleast and probably several others in this thread would follow the unspoken rule where if you are bidding on an item, even post the link for it, I would respect that and not bid on that item.

@jb77 Have you tried the 801S that some rave about?

No I haven’t I’ll have to check them out, thank you!

 

[jb77]

I'm just getting started with this tube type. I'm on page 1252 now. There is talk of these, but nothing on year/label differences yet.

I commend you for reading through the thread bro, very few people take that advice to heart, where did you start? 6N3P, 396A, 2C51 talk was roughly a year iirc before the 12AT7, 12AU7 talk starting August last year. Maybe summer 2017? Or was it 2016, long time ago.

I also commend you @mattrudy80 as @TK16 is right, very few people take that advice to heart.
