$24 each shipped within USA.  These were used in my Paradisea DAC.  They are all much better than the stock tube provided with the DAC.  The WE, Bendix and GE  have about 150 hr each max - the Tungsol maybe 100 - I think I have another Bendix, 2 more GE and 1 other Tungsol that are NOS - only tested.  Paypal prefered.

Thanks

PM's replied to.  Just so you guys know,  in my system the GE was a balance of the Bendix and WE.  The WE a little brighter - the Bendix a little lusher - the GE a mix of the 2 ;)  The Tungsol is about like the GE.

You are bidding on a quad of GE 5 STAR 5670 tubes. These tubes have black plates and D getters.

The 5670 (aka 2C51, 396A) is a medium-mu twin triode. It was introduced in 1948 as the high-reliability computer rated 2C51. Used in collins radios also used in various military and ham transmitters. More recently this tube has gained a following as a driver tube in HI-end audio preamplifier headphone amplifier and to drive triode tubes in single ended tube amplifiers. KT-88 KT-66 6B4G.

The 5670 is a driver tube for the Bendix 6094, as well as many SET, 6BQ5 / EL84 and other single ended triode amplifiers. Most american tubes have either the 5670 or the 2C51 label, while the Western Electric and some European tubes have a 396A designation.

The 5670 is EQUAL to or electrically CLOSE to the following tubes: 5670WA CK5670 CL5670WA CV2575 CV4013 CV5894 CV8247 GL5670 2C51 2C51L 396A 6385 6854 6CC42 6N3P 693PE CV2831
