Yeah, too bad they changed that to a meter. The 'eye' was way more entertaining. :grin: But don't feel bad about missing the 211's...they were probably my least favorite Cary amp of the couple dozen that passed through my hands over the years. I loved the 300B versions of the 805's and the V-12i (especially in monoblock form).

Yep the original 211 I heard were just a tad dry and forward...lacking the air that I enjoy! I really like the V12i mono as well and maybe one day will have some.......Pretty to look at as well!

Long story short, I almost pulled the trigger on the Walter Becker set of 211's here in Indiana that went up for auction but then I got realistic.....LOL

Those are still a hard sell. I am getting people from other sites asking about my amp, I only need $25-$30k to cover the complete setup. 3 months would do it if I did not give some away.

You could probably do the white paper tonight before you go to bed. :laughing: Spell check is unnecessary -- if it doesn't flag at least 75% of the words, you haven't picked ones that are confusing enough. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes::stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I will throw in septentrional, but I still do not have access to my mouse, Finnegan is keeping guard on it.

I've never tried them with a headphone cable. Guess I have something to do tomorrow after all. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Even if those say sixties they would most likely be very good tubes, I own a 69 somewhere and it is decent. Naturally I would have a friends and family price for sqitis and when they say the tubes might deliver by March, sometime that is very true. I am still waiting for a solid plate Melz out of Russia I ordered November 25th.

Oh wow, that's crazy. Yeah that's why I'm holding off buying anything outside of the US at the moment.

I had one package from Russia that sat in Chicago for a month waiting to clear customs, if the items come in to New York or DC they arrive pretty quickly. My tube is in Indianapolis now but the last time I mailed something there it took ten days to arrive lol. That was well before the Christmas rush too.

Sorry I missed that, I kept looking for a clear logo.

Does the number on the base always correspond to the date silkscreened on the glass below the Melz logo? I've never paid attention to that before. Just wondering if that is, in fact, the date or if it's an unrelated number.

I will look at some, I was always told if it was purple that was stamped on later. Many of mine are unstamped down below but I have a 78 where it matches down below and it is stamped in purple along with 1578, that is a Russian add on but the date is right. On a 69 there is no such number. On my 63's there is no markings on the base whatsoever as I recall.
