12AU7s, from Ray the gain tube makes the biggest deference. I do have 3 sets of the 5687s but I'm concentrating on the gain tube at this time. Got them on ebay

I do have some duplicates including the yellow label sylvania. I will need to put a list together of which ones I want to sell..

I think we should also post pictures with the reviews to be clear which tube we are talking about.

Now wait a doggone minute here. At least one of those Sylvanias should be headed stateside for me...along with some cables that were supposed to be en route. Your word is your bond or have you been whacked in the head with a hockey stick one too many times to remember? And as for this "surprise" for tyrion, it had better not be the ultra dink that I'm STILL trying to audition! If it is, how did tyrion jump ahead of me....AGAIN!!! GRRRRRRR!!!!

Dadgummit tyrion, you're beginning to remind me of a septic tank backing up! You don't even know it's there until the wind changes and it smacks you in the face.

Ain't nothin' good in Florida Mike. Don't listen to "Mr. Septic". You got my mailing address. Tubes, cables and the ultra dink. Send 'em all my way. When I'm finished I'll send 'em to that snake in the...er..tyrion.

I don't even know what the ultra dink is but I hope it's on it's way to me.

Edit: What is a good matched pair of 5687 to replace the stock tubes?

He knows what the ultra dink refers to. Methinks pinkie is up to his psychological games again. Of course, with him, that's similar to going into a knife fight with a pair of tweezers.

He gets me all worked up over the ultra dink, gets his hand on one and then promptly ships it to you! Hey, I've got Harley issues. I need this dink..no, I DESERVE this dink. Mike, you can't do this to me. Not after the torment I endured over being ampless. C'mon now. A man can only take so much.

Hey darius...I like Sylvania, too. My money is good. How 'bout offering up a few of those babies to good ol' "Mr. Tubeless"??

Dude, have you completely lost the plot here???? About the cables you PM'ed your address right but you never said for definite that you wanted them. Lately my mind readin skills have failed me so you have to TELL me you want them to try. Or maybe I misunderstood your PM.

I am sending a pair of headphones to Tyrion to play with as I need an opinion on something regarding SS and tube amplication regarding these particular headphones.

There have been some good deals going on in the UK regarding tubes. I couldn't believe it when it cost me $9. I thought I was going to have to remortgage my cardbox box.

I was gonna drive and collect them as it's only 30-40 miles away from where I live. That way I could see what other tube types this guy got.

 

[tyrion]

Now I really want to know what the ultra dink is.

KenW, I am going to find an excuse to go up to Atlanta for business so I can buy you a beer. Of course, if I have the ultra dink I may not want to leave home.

Edit: So, what is a good 12au7 tube to roll in my Raptor?

Well okay then. As long as it's not the ultra dink because if anyone gets to audition that baby, it's got to be me! $9 for tubes? Lemme send you a list!!

As for the cables, I was funnin' ya. I've got a few more pairs on the way. That should tell me what I want to know.

So when can I expect the dink for audition?

Sounds good. We'll get to clear the air a bit about ol' pinkie! Of course, Atlanta is not "home" for me. Actually, I live a few hours away but that's good news for a biker like myself. Don't mind a road trip at all! Just give me a few weeks to get my ride fixed and it's on. First round is on me.

I'll meet you half way. Now I have to find a client or potential client to visit. Ken, you don't happen to own an insurance company, do you?
Edit: We can discuss tubes.

 

[GoRedwings19]

When I get the rest of the tubes in I will post them to you. Hopefully they will get there shortly after the headphones. Thanks for doing this for me Tyrion...

Ultra dink is set for 240v 50 hz. It has a special camac adaptor power supply therefore AFAIK it cannot be altered. All though I could be wrong about that.

Crap! Twice in one night I've forgotten where you reside! The hour is much too late for this old man. Btw, I heard back on my dink. Should know something concrete on an audition by Tuesday. Looking good!!!
