Saw these Ken Rad 6F8G on eBay....looked interesting.

I have a pair of those but I have not tried them yet.
 
SO, there are a bunch of 6F8Gs on ebay now.  Several of them are of the TS BGRP variety.

The first week of January, I arranged to buy a pair of TS-BGRP's -12SN7. The seller misplaced them; cannot locate. I've seen many of valuables get inadvertently tossed after the holiday season is over. What if...

 
Short on cash at this writing, but going over to eBay and investigate my options. Thanks!

You only have 45 days to make a claim.  However, if you paid via paypal you should be ok.
 
Who is the seller?

 

[Silent One]

Moi? 

 Oh, I didn't pay for them. I had been watching his occasional sales of pairs and quads going back to summer 2012; contacted him to purchase a pair in September. Then, a bigger upgrade came along and I decided to hold off a few months. 
 
They're likely somewhere around his estate. The pair I sought were never listed - I inquired and he happened to have a pair or two remaining. I'm still interested but may not see any audio budgeted cash till April/May.
 
And then...I'm gonna 

 strike!

Something doesn't appear to be quite right 

on the website. Is it my experience alone or others experience something weird?

 

[Dubstep Girl]

yeah same here, looks like the theme is down.

 

[Silent One]

I switched to "Mobile" on the desktop and that brought minor relief...my eyes are twitching.

 

[Dubstep Girl]

i should try that, although i don't like the mobile very much.
 
hope it gets fixed soon.

 

[Silent One]

We're back! Well...sort of. But, full desktop is now working on my side.

I had the same tubes and the first one out of my WA5-LE was the 81 drivers. i di dnot like hte sound compared to other NOS. Currenlty I am using TS BG/RP 6F8G and love them.
 
The second one replaced but I still have them were the EML 5U4G Mesh. They were replaced by the 596. If I wan tmore dyanmics I use the 596, if i want a more melow sound I go with the EML btu to be honest the EML have been in their boxes for months.
 
I am still using the EML 300B Mesh. Love their sound.
 
Upgrade the tubes. They make a big difference. I would go with a pair of 596 or Brimar 5R4GY as rectifiers. TungSol 6F8G drivers and the EML 300B Mesh or at least a Sophia for power tubes.

What is your take on EML 300B Mesh versus Sophia Royal Princess 300B? Have you or any others here had a chance to hear/compare? Thanks.

I'm going to start off with the JJ 300B and see where it goes from there. Or is that a big mistake?

I have been wondering how those WE Replica sound but I have not found any detailed review about them.
