Genalex 300B group buy
« on: 8 Jul 2010, 02:21 pm »
It's time to start getting the ball rolling on this. These are going to retail for a 506.20 per pair. and will compete with the black bottle Treasure series at $600 pair. I'd like to get a pair for some local club members too and this is not exclusive to AC members (i.e. you don't need a post count minimum). I'm looking for 25 people for 25 pairs with some flexibility if you need a quad or single here and there.

Group buy pricing will be $375/pair shipped CONUS if we can achieve critical mass. As before, I like to do Paypal Gift or check/mo. As usual all tubes will have a 9 month warranty (6 from manufacturer), and will be tested and matched by me on an Amplitrex AT1000.

In Europe during the 1930s the GEC (Genalex)/Marconi-Osram PX4 and PX25 power triodes were considered the finest audio triodes of their day. In keeping with the tradition of Genalex to provide the highest quality tubes, New Sensor has released the Genalex Gold Lion PX300B audio power triode. This tube is the highest quality 300B type available and is considered to be an upgrade in any 300B amplifier.

Is the price the same for pair or quad.
And how these compare to TJ mashplate?

Retail for a quad would be $1012.40

Group buy quad would cost  $750.

No idea how they sound, but every single Genalex re-issue I have sold (EL84, KT88, KT77) has stayed in people's systems as far as I know.

DC, sent you email; count me in for a pair.

Also, I'm very impressed with the GL reissue 12AX7's!

Wow. There goes the group buy. Not sure what's up with that; almost 1/2 of retail.

It looks like these could be available as a factory matched pair already. I know it's not the best idea to use ebay as an example  :nono: but look here : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390218861790&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en#ht_1141wt_910  (A 100% positive feedback and high volume says a little something about their integrity.)

These guys are above board and sell them too : http://thetubestore.com/goldlionpx300b.html

I would like to try these tubes myself so I will keep watching this thread.

Hey doctorcllantro,

it seems these are being sold in many places so even if you test and match, you are going to be working hard to get a slice of the business.

My suggestion is you set up a group buy with a good price and add your tests/printed curves or whatever on something that seems much harder to source and of most certainly higher quality the newly introduced after nearly 40years... 100% made in Japan by japanese the TA-300B by Takatsuki...

If you can get these out at 600$/pr that should give all those Chinese and East European tubes a challenge sonically.

cheers
