Just wanted to say putting an avatar pic of tubes with no markings is a bad showing on your part.
Hey bro! I learned from the best!

Well it IS 27% off AND you could use your $3 off E-Bay coupon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT A DEAL!!!!
I finally found a Mitcham 58 square getter ECC82, BUT it is featured with lush carpeting and obscenely overpriced.

No carpet? I assumed there would be carpeting involved. Going to withdraw my $68 offer.I don't see any lush carpeting. Deal killer right there. And they couldn't even be bothered to turn the print right side up. Dickheads. I'd need a $300 off coupon rather than $3.
Put a pair of Tungsram NOS 7DJ8 tubes in ....
has a big full sound fleshed out to every edge of the huge SS.
The SQ is a tad soft, but as I said, it is fleshed out, giving a sense of presence and continuity.
Kind of like the Amperex 7308s IME. Also dead quiet.
Sounds best with modern (eg CD) recordings, and smaller groups or singer singer writer acoustics.
Test music:
Bowie- Heathen, 2002
Neil Young - acoustic sets, Live at Massey Hall, Live at Sugar Mtn
Dexter Gordon - Both sides of Midnight, 1967
Yeah, but how do they sound with good music?
I have had my eye on that tube, but not from that seller, for that kind of money.I finally found a Mitcham 58 square getter ECC82, BUT it is featured with lush carpeting and obscenely overpriced.

Thanks, that's what I am thinking, too. However, tighter military tolerances can yield slight differences in sound, as can be heard with the USA Amperex 6922 vs. 7308.Afaik it is the same tube. CV491 military designation. ECC82 civilian version. Don't know if there are any sonic differences between the 2.
Got the Brimar ECC82 1955 square getters up to 170 hours, got them at 7th place on my list. Well worth a try around $100ish a pair.
