[Bigfish8]

Need to try these...

  Man, those tubes better be good!

No, they better give head.

I bought 12au7s today, some RCA cleartops on ebay, and assorted other RCAs from AN members. Also 3 Amperex on ebay. And a pair of 1960s Telefunkens from a guy in Turkey.

And still haven't spent what these Brimars cost.

More important, found out my bro-in-law has a tube tester, I have to drive up to Jersey to get it, maybe on the 11th going to or coming from the Rave.

I've got a set of 1960's Tele's smooth plates that came out of a Tandberg reel to reel from my fathers attic. My favorite tube. For everyday use I'm using 1950's Amperex 7316's. The closest I can get in sound to the 1950's Amperex Bugle Boy longplates which also are an arm and a leg. My neighbor has a pair and he won't give me a good price on them.

Does he want more than $150 a piece for the 7316 D-getter longplates ? if they are NOS they can go upwards of $300 a pop because these really are the Holy Grail of the 7316's and the ones that precede them dont even come close. i dont even use 12AU7's in my current setup but i love my 7316 PQ D-getter longplates so much i would never even consider letting them go

About that price. He doesn't even  have equiptment that uses them anymore. Maybe he'll read this and give me a nice holiday gift.

I have those yellow T Brimars in the 12at7 variation.

They really are great tubes, super musical, like Mullards on steroids
