Hi, jc9394
 
There are 2 dealers on Ruten have Tung-sol BGRP, one is "oval mica" costs NTD14,000 and one is "round mica" costs NTD16,000 (the one you want).
I am still considering and probably will make the decision next week after I call them personally.
 
Both dealers are a bit older and I am not sure if they can speak English well, you may just send them mails first.

Yeah, I will do that.  Too bad I don't speak Taiwanese. 

John & Ivan, I have deal with that seller from Yahoo Taiwan and he's a nice gentleman. And John, he ship worldwide but you need to contact him (that would be great if you can write him in Chinese, no Taiwanese is necessary

) via email and have the shipping quote.

LMAO, you are too funny.  I totally forgot Taiwanese and Chinese is the same in writing but wait I can't write Chinese either.

I think I'm good, he replied my email already.  Shipping to US is fine but that 4% paypal add on is a killer.  I'm going to try the place in US first.

Great and agree that 4% Paypal charge is always a burden.

Dear Dannie:
 
Do you know why dealers always recommend Sylvania(or RCA) over Tung-sol?
Both dealers tried to convince me Sylvania is better, and one of them said Tung-sol is good for speaker system, not good for headset.
 
Sincerely;
Ivan.

Sorry Ivan. I have no idea about that but was thinking the Sylvania is more slow moving than the TS with the price difference is not that big, also the TS is always a good pick. BTW, I don't own any Sylvania 6SN7 so I dunno if it's a good combo with headset.

Thanks, Dannie.
 
I suppose the dealer tried to emphasize that TS is too neutral, detailed and a bit dry which is not good to hear in "short distance", and Sylvania is more lush and beautiful in midrange and treble(colored) which pleases most of people, and good soundstage.
 
I try to seek and keep only one pair for my WA6SE, but I can't afford Sylvania 6SN7W and TS BGRP at the same time to compare them, which makes me very difficult to make decision based on what dealer says.

Yeah, he is.  All I know is not set my feet in Asia anytime soon.

WHAT! We've gone from New Treasures to Old Light Bulbs? Cool! I mean HOT!

How do you store your light bulbs? On shelves or in shoe boxes away from pets and kids?

This guy may be my friend if he can get me a match pair.  He has over 10.

Well, it is good to have a girl friend who doesn't stop you buying things, however, she also "empty" your pocket rapidly as well....
