Wow! That's crazy.

 

[Guidostrunk]

Wonder whatever happened to @jonathan c ? I think all those tubes he got may have kidnapped him.

I snagged a pair of platinums. Lol

Think you're going to love em, AC turned me on to them couple years ago. Impressive tubes at that price.
@Wes S think he's had them for sale for so long is due to the tubes not being a recognized holy grail like other tubes and not generally discussed in tube circles.

All the years we've been rolling tubes I don't remember them ever being brought up. Still amazes me how many tubes and variants we've covered over the years. Lol

You don't remember me bring them up the past week or a few minutes ago?!?

Possible heart attack after turning on the MJ2 with Mullard 6201's burning bright orange for a couple seconds?

Got some beauties on the way. Lol.

I am still alive and rolling. I’ll be damned if I let any thermionic device (British, German, Italian, French, Japanese, U.S...) get the better of me. Trying out a variety (including the Mullard 6201) in the WA3**. I am faced with tightening / replacing / having replaced the tube sockets in the MJ-II...adapters / tubes sit rather loose.

** When the ordered adapters come from Xuling Audio Labs, I will be guiding the WA6 down the fast lane of Route 12AT7...

Items that are in transit:

you got me going off the rails again

E180CC/7062 is also doable in the MJ2. From memory the heater current is a little lower than the MJ2 max. No pressure guys!

What is the max again? I was running a pair of 6414 which is comparable to the tubes you mentioned but stopped using them when I discovered they ran at 450ma

Not sure to be honest, that info is buried in hundreds of pages in the Lyr tube rolling thread but I think AC knows. Give him a PM.
