As an old ex-rocker (bassist) & tube amp technician I was thrilled to come across a box of quite a few new /unused RCA 6550's recently. (yes I got them legitimately)

Apart from contacting Marshall or HiWatt, suggestions solicited on what would the best way to sell a few of them?

I'm including a link to a tube faq page with wonderful information on 12AX7's, 12AU7's and 6DJ8's...

I have used this article on many occasions and although I may not agree with every evaluation...many seem to be true...at least with my gear...

Enjoy!

Nicola,

I am the owner of that site. I also own a Singlepower MPX3. No one can match our testing or level of noise testing especially for NOS audio tubes. Email me any questions!
