Hehe we're still here :) I still haven't parted with my tube collection, I was just telling a friend about the 'legendary' Reflektors 1975 SWGPs lol that right now are going for crazy money (i don't know if they are selling but if they are lmao, they are good tubes but the prices...

Do you have a list of all the tubes you've tried and compared to them? I'm interested cause I have quite a few rare ones including some supposedly italian ones Fivre and Marconi Italia as well as Philips Monza + some early ECC81 Mitchams with 1552 codes and wrinkled glass. Some of 'em I like...

Why did I come to this thread again... :D Glad to see you all still going rofl. Edit: Well crap after brexit can't buy from Langrex customs free, rip Footscray :D

:beerchug: Remember the yellow Valvo CCas bro ;) Good times! I still have a pair of 60/62 and also a yellow Dario Miniwatt 1962 E188CC :D Have not listened to them in years tho.

I miss this thread before I lost my passion :D Nowadays I only listen to my Telefunkens as I'm too lazy to tube roll, I upgraded amp to Pathos Inpol EAR, I like it very much, probably confirmation bias but what isn't :D Hope ya'll doing alright in this crap year. Cheers

I want an amp with more power (and possibly sound better) than the MJ2 that can host all my long acquired tubes but alas I can't find any :frowning2: Edit: How have you guys been? Edit2: I guess I found Pathos InpolEAR but a lot of question marks so far about tube roll-ability and price is...

Am I the only one around here that hasn't heard them GECos? Edit: Also how can head-fi go from worse to worse UIs over the years I will never understand....

Happy new year to all and get well soon bro!

I have a tube from tubemonger a while ago that one pin just falls off like that. But if you push it in tube works. Perhaps this is the case here and tube can be repaired by just inserting a pin from a shittier tube that you don't need (or a broken one) and adding some super glue on the outside...

Pinched waist WE396A eh? xD Sick. I have received the pair of 7316 ct0 delta8J Heerlen D-Getter Long Plates! It did not even get stopped at customs when it had the price stamped on it > 200$. I've had packages that cost like 35$ stopped and had to pay to get them released. Go figure...

If they are new or not has no connection if they are any good. I could show you tubes I've tested that came from boxes that were never opened that had horrible test results or even problems. And pulled used tubes from ebay that were pristine. NOS is a term which may mean virtually anything but...

Well I mean they were made in 1958... :D I am located in Bulgaria (part of European Union). But they test well, Of course if we decide to do this I would have to pick out a pair and listen to it for a while in my amp to be sure it's good.

I can sell ya ECC88 D-Getter and PCC88 D-Getter and PCC88 D-Getter Pinched waist(PWs more expensive) in Europe. But next year cause I ain't shipping in December :D

This is definitely the best method and lowest risk I've found. I've done this several times without issue. I even wrote a post about it with a picture back then: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/schiit-lyr-tube-rollers.673709/page-645#post-12734100

Nice try bro I'm not even tempted! :triportsad: Edit: Saving money for ZMF Verite Closed on my hunt for work headphone nirvana, might release some nice deals on premium tubaz soon, then again might not as it's too much work :frowning2:
