I'm trying to cut down on my stock of output tubes, so I'm interested in trading the following for a matched pair (or possibly 3 tubes) of high quality rectifier tubes:
I have a nicely matched quad of 'almost' NOS Amperex/Mullard EL34's for that I purchased in November from a respected member; they tested NOS when I purchased and I would guess I've put no more than 400 hours on them since, as I've rolled quite a few output quads thru in trying to find my favorite
!! This quad was over $350 when I purchased.
I also have a nicely matched quad of again 'almost' NOS Tesla brown base el34's, again purchased from a respected Asylum member in January--I've put even less, say 250 hours on these. Frankly I was surprised, as these give up very little, if anything to the more expensive Amperex/Mullards. The old VTV el34 shootout was right, these are a great tube.
I'm looking for at least a pair, although I could use 3 tubes, with the 'extra' as a spare for my amp and/or my MW Transporter, of high quality rectifier tubes...something like Mullard cv378/gz37's, Brimar, Cossur, and would also consider really good 5U4G's.....
If you have some great spare rectifiers and are interested in a high quality quad of EL34's, let me know...if there is value differences, hopefully we can agree on some $ also going one way or the other!
Thanks,
Randy
