Shini - Can you cancel the order and pick up a pair from elsewhere as abvolt suggests?  

i will wait for 3 days, and might cancel in 2 days, i am sick of this site, i paid for fast fedex shipping (80$) , so i dont want to go and wait again etc

Kevin is out of the town this week, thats why its a bad case here.



so what is about tubeworld site again? fedex delivery , fast?

Sorry Shini never used them before.  
 
Wow $80 shipping for a small package.  I understand your frustration - for that i'd want it out the door that same day.  
 
I hope it works out for you.

i could easily use aramex which will take 1 week from the package arrival USA to USA, for the package to be in my hand

but since upscale us ULTRA slow, + all the crying you have to do to get them to answer you once, it could take 2-3 weeks to see the tubes for me...

so yes 80$ = 3 days till the tubes are in my WA7tp , thanks to Fedex priority, i rather pay and not wait and struggle. 

so far i spammed upscale, telling them to accept the payment, i even said take your time with the tubes, just accept the payment!!!  4 days of 7 days passed , else they cant claim the money = cancellation from their side, then i get my money after 30 days.... 

anyway people sorry for sharing the bad news and frustration here, i dont want you guys to have a bad day because of my bad posts :< 


Seriously , i dont recommend, using upscale again ,  I REALLY HATE THEM NOW, worst Customer Service of all the times, the worst part Kevin Promised he will tell them to accept the payment, but nop, just nothing since ages
 
i wish Kevin have an account here, so he understand what the customers of his are going through.

once again sorry people , just very mad here....

They are extremely over priced and slow but they do sell a good product and of the best quality.  Just one of those things in these sort of small market communities.

all of these have a different label (on the tube) from the one that Jeb reviewed.


i might order tomorrow or after it, Kevin got 24-48 hours before i cancel.

Hi Shini, mine were just rebranded with a different label. Any of those pairs would be fine. I don't know of any differences between 60s and 70s versions but usually older the better. I think RCAs from 50s are most sought after so of those you sent I would go 60s.

They are very expensive though.

Thanks for the info

and now they canceled my order,  and it will take 30 days, till i get my $$$ bank  .... :<

[Shini44]

btw people again sorry about my attitude today, been a bad four days and waiting, then BAM the cancellation, and i got to pay nearly 200$ again just to get a pair of tubes....

upscale has really great tubes one just pays a premium for them, take a look here also -->  http://www.langrex.co.uk/

That is how it should work
 
Now I think you need some 5814a's to round out the collection
 
Hytron , RCA or Sylvania would do

5814a has different output spec to 12au7
Sylvania Jan 5814a was one of the first "upgrade " recommended in this thread discussion centred around improved bass response
Lately the CBS Hytron and vintage RCA 5814's have been discussed for greater soundstage and separation
