Hey guys, I hope that this is okay but I'd like to ask if there is anyone who would like to sell a set of Amperex Orange Globes Holland based late 60's (or similar). Can't seem to find any from my usual ebay source. 
 
And yes, I have open a classified ad.

Thanks for whoever recommended the Bugle boys! It's so much more musical and warmer than the stock 6BZ7's!

I have two pair (matched, near NOS levels) of the famed '75 Voskhod 6N23P grey-shields that I'm hoping to find a good home. Killer tubes! PM me if you have been searching for a pair. SOLD!
 
Wanted to give my fellow Lyr-heads first shot at them.

Too many great tubes, too little time to listen anymore...
 

Tubes are sold! Thanks!

So while I'm waiting for new tubes to come in, I stuck back some stock Lyr tubes (GE 6BZ7) in. They have only been used for about 100 hours. Every time I turn the volume knob (no music playing, headphones plugged in), I can hear a slight "screech"-like noise on the left side. It also happens when music is playing. Anyone know whats going on? Faulty tube?

I didn't swap the tubes over, but what I did was took them both off, blew some air, and plugged them back in. Now the problem is gone. I guess there was just some dust or something like that. Thanks for your help though.

Got to be honest, this is an esoteric hobby...nice gear Esoteric:) Pretty much the whole family doesn't get it - kids happy with mp3s and apple earbuds.

 
Same here... I even took pains to rip the kids' music to .m4a hoping they would 'get' it. No dice.
 
People laugh when hearing I have 30K invested in audio. Of course, new your NWO was about 1/3 of my total investment, but I'm not laughing.
