I'm interesting in buying a used quad of Psvane 211 tubes with low hours.  I'll be using these to upgrade from the stock Shuguang 211's that came with my Coincident Dragons.

Thanks,
Ernie

Track down a quad of Shuguang 211-B tubes from a seller in France and thank me later.  They're the 211B equivalent of the 845B (amperex clones) and are far better then the Psvane GARBAGE.  I'm using them myself in a Melody AN-211.

No thanks Gopher.

Wow, there's gratitude for ya!

We'll have some coming in about a month if you can wait that long.

Not sure about pricing yet.

Cool, thanks.  I would definitely be interested.


I want to stick with the Psvane because the amp manufacturer has indicated that these in particular are a big step up from the stock ones in his Dragon amps.  I don't believe that he would recommend "Garbage."

The Psvane (T) big glass tubes are debatably better then the standard Shuguang (A) tubes, though many trustworthy ears disagree.  Almost everyone, including several ACers I have urged to hear from themselves have SIGNIFICANTLY preferred the "B" tubes to the "T"  I've owned both personally--Sunnydaze made the comparison as well in my home.

Read about what people have to say about the 845B tube.

Most people do not know it, but a small limited batch of 211Bs were released which is the 211 equivalent of the widely loved and respected 845B.  I doubt Isreal even realizes these tubes exist.

That said--you seem like a guy that is set in his ways so have at it:  http://www.audioasylumtrader.com/ca/listing/Tubes/PSVANE/211-T/GFT-COLLECTION-GRADE/79950

These have me interested:  http://www.china-hifi-audio.com/matched-pair-psvane-vacuum-tube-211t-ii-collection-gray-p-739.html

I hated the first generation of Psvane 845s (supposedly same as 211s) but always loved black treasure tubes.  If these are more in line with treasures then psvanes I think they may be a solid alternative.
