After doing lots of tube rolling in my amp to find out what my favorite flavors are, I have some very nice almost NOS tubes for sale.  I purchased all of the following NOS, and have put limited hours on them (as detailed individually below).  I do not have a tester and thus cannot guarantee how any of these tubes will test (much less sound in your system); I have however purchased all of these from reputable tube sellers and can say they all sound and perform perfectly in my system.  I believe my prices reflect a very substantial discount from the prices such tubes are going for currently.  All prices include paypal fees and ground shipping in the CONUS (US sales only please).  Further discounts may be arranged for 'multiple' purchases to reflect shipping savings, less hassle, etc.  Available are the following:

--matched quad Amperex/Mullard EL34's (xf2's), purchased from very reputable seller here on AC; these have less than 400 hours on them--$280 (SOLD)
--matched quad RCA 6L6GC blackplates, from GTFBS, again less than 400 hours on them--$325 (SOLD)
--matched quad Tung Sol 6550 smooth blackplates, less than 300 hours--$375 (SOLD)
--matched quad Pope 6V6gt, purchased new from Upscale Audio, less than 100 hours--$80 (SOLD)
--matched pair 6H30DR's, purchased NOS, less than 200 hours--$150 (SOLD)
--matched pair Ken Rad VT-231's, black glass, less than 200 hours--$75 (SOLD)
--matched pair Siemens E188CC, purchased NOS from Upscale, less than 50 hours--$185
--matched pair Tung Sol 6CG7, supposedly blackplate (but look gray to me), purchased NOS from Cryoset, less than 300 hours--$50
--matched pair Mazda 6CG7, Upscale Audio, less than 300 hours--$50 (SOLD)

Also available are the following reissues:

--matched quad Tung Sol 6L6G (big bottle), from Cryoset, less than 300 hours--$60 (SOLD)
--matched quad Gold Lion KT66 reissues, also from Cryoset, less than 500 hours--$100 (SOLD)

I have lots of old feedback on the 'Gon, username Rrsclyde.

If anyone is willing to buy the whole remaining lot (considering the sales noted above), I will now take $450 all tubes that are left just to save on multiple shipping  costs & hassles!

UPDATE/TRADES CONSIDERED:  I am interested in a good 274b (or an EML 5u4 mesh), as well as primo 12ax7's, and potentially a nice pair of interconnects (RCA).

Thanks!

Randy

Hi Randy,
 If the Ken Rad VT-231's are quiet and not Microphonic, I might take them. Send me a PM.

 Thanks,
Joe

Joe,

I've used them in the driver section of my integrated amp, and also as the output tubes in my Modwright Transporter, with no noise issues.

Thanks,

Randy

Bump.  Really nice tubes (the TS 6550's are special and pretty hard to find now  :)).

Offers entertained!

Randy,
The NOS 6H30DR's are a nice improvement  :thumb: in my preamp over the stock Sovtek's.  Thanks for the great packaging and quick shipment.
Larry

My pleasure Larry; glad you like 'em.

Enjoy!  To me this is what a great part of this hobby/obsession is all about--sharing experiences and having fun.

Best,

Randy

Hi Randy!

Tubes arrived safe and sound and test great.  Thanks for the exceptional packaging.

Very happy   :P

Audioclyde

Great Eric; always relieved when tubes make a trip safely!

Glad you like the sound; please let me know your impressions of the TS reissue 6L6G big bottles--I thought they were a real 'sleeper' considering their relatively low cost.

Thanks again,

Randy
