An Italian subsidiary would likely be called ‘Bang e Bang’….Can't be anyone else, unless BangyBang opened an Italian division recently. If that happened, I feel really sorry for Italy.

AKA I'm_High_Tubes. And the 'high' refers to more than just the prices.Yup, it's Wege_high_tubes !!!!!!!!
Bummer, and hopefully you don't give up on finding and trying the CBS-HYTRON version, as that's my favorite and is the most impressive of all the 12BH7 I have heard so far. Speaking of the CBS-HYTRON 12BH7, as it usually goes with tubes I am finding the earlier the better. Look for White Lettered Logos and Getters that are angled (45 degree), as those have better inner detail and more harmonic richness as well. It's hard to put it into words, but the earlier versions just sound more "magical" and "lifelike".Broke the rule and didn't notice "No returns' on the Hytron. Complete waste of $$$ with readings on both plates in the REJECT zone. I was going to raise a fuss with E-Bay and the seller and then I dropped it............ butter fingers!
Oh well. Lesson learned and only $20 for Stupid Tax.
I had those in my watched items for about 4 hours then they were sold. I guess I know who bought them.Bummer, and hopefully you don't give up on finding and trying the CBS-HYTRON version, as that's my favorite and is the most impressive of all the 12BH7 I have heard so far.

Look for something like this below and you won't be disappointed (as long as they test well and aren't noisy).
The 2 earliest versions - Angled D Getter (left tube) and Angled Square Getter (earliest version on the right).
Happy Hunting, Rolling and Listening!
Guilty as charged.I had those in my watched items for about 4 hours then they were sold. I guess I know who bought them.
I knew I should have just bought them and not waited.. Oh well. Listening to my new Atrium on the Pendant. What a beautiful sounding headphone. The sound stage of these is amazing and so immersive. I have 4 ZMFs now Blackwood VC, Bocote Auteur, Bubinga Aoleus, Age Cherry Atrium) and they all sound different. Justification to keep them all!Guilty as charged.
LOL! I am sure there will be more, and I am all stocked up now on that version so you won't be competing with me next time. As for the Atrium, I can only imagine the sound stage with the Pendant SE and some good tubes. . .I don't do Open-Backs but that one has really tempted me into thinking maybe I could use one. That being said, I already have the funds lined up and ready to go for the soon to be released Closed-Back version of the Atrium and can't wait to add a 3rd ZMF Closed-Back to my collection. I have been rocking with my Atticus the past couple of days after going 2 weeks straight with my VC, and man o man they both have their strengths and own unique character and I love both headphones equally (definitely justified owning multiple ZMF's). I think the VC, Atticus, and Atrium Closed will be a "dream team" with three different driver types/flavors of ZMF awesomeness, and I can't wait to complete the trio.I knew I should have just bought them and not waited..
