edited February 2011 in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
I have gotten a number if inquiries about these tubes recently, so I'm looking at another group buy.

Price is looking to be about $45 per tube, either type, which would include: after-market testing, shipping, Paypal fees, and matching (if needed) on my Amplitrex.

Please express your interest in this thread.

cheers,
jon

    After getting a pair of the 6922's I have to say these are simply excellent tubes. If the 12ax7's are on par with the 6922's, then I would be in for a quad if this happens in January.

    THe Genelex 6922 is a fantastic tube, and I would recommend anyone who needs either of these tubes jump on this opportunity.

    The 12AX7 will be available in about 4 weeks so they 6922 will come in first.

    Strange, I posted here with an update but it's not here.

    1. Would anyone like Genalex re-issue 12AU7s?

    2. Would $6 extra per tube be agreeable if they are cyrogenically treated?

    3. Happy new year!

    I'll take two sets (one set for each monoblock). The extra $6 per tube is not a problem.

    I need to PM people individually. I have a better price for cryo.

    Please let me know if $4 per tube extra is okay for the cryo and I will get it done.

    12AX7s are in early and ordered the whole lot of 6922, 12AX7, and 12AU7 today - I'm planning on doing the cryo here in Florida. I think it will be well worth it.

    I can send Pm's today.

    Do you have gold sockets? Gold pins don't matter if you don't. If so Ei is a generic tube, much like Sovtek.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Sorry guys, have been busy.

    Tubes are being cryo'd today. Possibly ship by Saturday if lucky. I'll start diggin' for addresses for those of you who I already have.

    I tested non-cryo Genalex 12AU7 last weekend, and saved a pair to compare them to the cryo version when they return.

    Okay, sorry for the delay, the tubes are coming back from Cryotherm today. They do an interesting proprietary process which I wasn't aware of at first. I sent a few of my own tubes in too.

    I plan on shipping this week, and will get the paid orders out asap.

    thanks!
