Same here - I bought a back-up set of the TS BGRP's - can't stomach the idea of being without them.  As said, they cost what they cost for a reason - they sound AMAZING.

I discovered so many devils about TS RPBG here suddenly.

Yes, the devil is here... but good and bad news... for those who hold out on it, they are gone.  he sold them all out already...
 
Oh, for the good news.  He is holding the last pair for me 

 

[dannie01]

You lucky devils, I missed this......................#^&(^%$*((&^^^%&)@!
 
Edit. I'm wrong, should be "devils". Congrats you all, it worth what you paid, enjoy.

I've just ordered a back up pair from him also. Can't stand the thought of being without a set if anything happens to the ones I've got. I don't know the history of these I have already so not sure how long they'll last. They sound sublime but are nothing to look at, no lettering on the glass etc, definately not NOS.
 
I had an extended listen to them in my WA6 last night and I have to say everything people say is true. Everything seems so 3D, so perfect in every way. If any of you guys are sitting on the fence wondering if you should buy a set, just do it because these will only go up in price as they become more and more rare to find. Walt has the licence to print money the way I see it......

Don't we all. 
 
Not sure what to say anymore, we are just brunch of crazy Woo owners that will to pay that much on "Old Light Bulb".

 

[Cyberevo]

No need to worry too much.
 
According to the tube dealer I met earlier, he knew someone in Europe has at least 50 "pairs" of TS BGRP, and he believes this guy has more.
The dealer bought 10 pairs at once from this source in the beginning of this year, which cost USD300 per pair...

The next time he tried to order, that guy increased to USD400.
 
Cited from him, these dealers/owners won't release too many vintage on the auction sites.
They will show few pairs from time to time, in order to maintain the price.
That's it.

But at $350 a pair from a reputable seller that offer return/exchange on DOA is hard...
