😂😂😂 had a feeling... 🙃
Just helping out my local group in case this one tests higher than others we have. It is a tube that has made our final cut of 52 for blind testing.

That brimar sold within half hour of @SHIMACM posting that link. Was definitely a bargain...
I was surprised it was still there. The time change (and other events, has me getting up early. I needed to jump in before @bcowen saw it.😜

This has to be a new world record. 10 calendar days shipment to delivery from the Ukraine. As a plus, both tubes test dead-on NOS values with perfectly matched triodes (and military stamps to boot -- both are '56's). Not bad for $10. And while not Brimars quite obviously, I can't let @Paladin79 have gloating dibs totally unchallenged. :smile:

Grrrrr......denied because of a Chamber of Commerce meeting, otherwise it would have been mine. I don't even like (most) Brimars. :smile::smile:

Lol I am not a huge fan but the price was right. As far as Foton’s why???? I would rather have a Futon instead of a Foton.

Oh and I am listening to three VR-102’s (BL63’s), they are different and musical.

Having extra Fotons is like getting a bonus track on a Yoko Ono album.😉
I don't know that I agree with the premise, but that is one well turned phrase!

It's mine now. The problem; so very few know who Yoko Ono is these days. I suppose that's a good thing, but it does make one feel old.

LOL! He's obviously pulled out his Yoko, Shaun Cassidy, Jackson 5, Leif Garrett, and Captain & Tenille collection. Most would be boxing them up to donate dump at a local flea market, but Tom is laying on his futon and listening with a satisfied smile... :smile:

The best offers make it very difficult to ship internationally. So the way and share with friends.

I was kidding about the Fotons, they are probably the best priced tube out there unless you can catch some of the 56-58 solid plate Melz for a reasonable price but few know about them yet and they are not very common.

Ive been using my Feliks Audio elise for about a month now. So far, this amp rocks. However i think its time for me to dive head first in the world of tube rolling. For starters I have a pair of 6as7g RCA black plate power tubes. Driver tubes, for now, are PSVane cv-181 T mk2. This combo is decent as it gives me plenty of bass while maintaining a good balance of mids and highs. However, the bass is boomy and not very controlled and not very punchy, which in returned casts a veil over the mids and vocals.

Can anyone plz recommend me some 6sn7 tube or variants that will play well with my RCA 6as7gs. The PS vane is good but i want to bring out the best out of my Elise.

I mostly use my ZMF VC and Auteur with my Elise. Any help would be appreciated.
