Anyone who has been wanting to try the Amperex ECC82 Long Plate Foil D Getter 1957-58 tubes. Tubemonger has some listed on their site for $15 per tube. Tubemonger has a disclaimer stating these are below 65% testing however they still sound good.
So yes these tubes are below 65% testing, however as mentioned below in the second screenshot, the “life” of a tube is not all about how it “tests” as there are many other factors involved and for only $15 per tube, it may be worth it for “you” to try and see how you like their sound.
I wanted to post this for anyone who has been curious about these tubes and want to know what they sound like.
For anyone who is interested, here is the link:

They started-out with 21 available, they are now down to 13 remaining.
