I think ebay sellers troll these forums looking for what's the flavour of the month, jacking up the prices accordingly.
Either that or @bcowen has started to buy up every mouse ear and supply is the dwindling

Bill, nah, he is into 7N7s....he leaves these big tubes alone.....

It is the taller 7N7's that Bill seeks, this style. The tube on the left that is.

Anybody get a chance to try those frankentubes in the Vali2 yet?

Received the ol' mouse ears today from that ebay listing the other day. I like it, kind of a lot. I will run it for a bit before I decide if I like it over my JJ 6SN7 that I was running previously. As of right now, they are pretty close sounding to me, but after running for a day or 2 we shall see if that stays the same. This thing doesn't have much glow, but it has glorious sound for sure. One thing I did notice right away, schiit in gets you schiit out for sure. My good sounding tracks sound amazing. My crappy recorded tracks sound, well like schiit. Probably enjoy Diana Krall through this tube more so than any other tube I have tried to date.

EDIT: How do you figure/find out the production year of these mouse ears?

Share a night-photo after that glorious tube's all warmed up? Very nice, indeed!

You mean there are still some out there? I am way off my game....I thought I had them all.

I would much rather blame Bill, it makes life simpler.

There's a fee for that, you know.

"Frankentubes" was so last week Bill, we are hording all known stocks of 6J5GT. I may have purchased the last $14/pair in existence, and they are in a safe deposit box...plugged into the one-hole of the Vali 2

Frankentubes? Crap. I thought you were talking about Mouse Ears.

I already have all the Frankentubes.

Me: *looks at Lyr 2 with 7DJ8s* "wow those look lame"
Me: If only there was a Lyr which used 6SN7s!
Me: *google*
Me: Hello Lyr 3! You look mighty fineeee

I guess I am out of the loop...Looking forward to Valhalla 2 for these FOTONs

Mouse ears night shot.

It sounds ok, too.

What tube is that?

It’s a PSVane CV-181 MkII. Nothing special. It just looks cool.

Nevermind. Imgur is being a PITA and Dropbox doesn't want to show images
