Amperex Orange Globe 12AU7's - Made in Holland
I've got 4 of these and would like to sell them in pairs or as a quad. They all have the same, exact date codes of Delta7L2, meaning Holland Heerlen factory 1967. I bought these in July, 2009 as a matched quad. They all had scores in the 90-93 range on a Hickok TV-7B where the minimum good is 56/56. I'm sure they are still pretty similar in strength as I've probably only put an additional 1000 hrs or so on them.
One has excellent printing, 2 have very good printing and 1 has fair to marginal printing with some letters missing. Will sell for $27.50 per pair, shipped or $52.50 shipped for the quad. First buyer gets choice of print quality, but regardless of print they are all the same quality sonically. These are the best 12AU7's I've tried in my amp in the 6 yrs I've owned it. Just re-tubed with the new Psvane's.
2 channel - Willsenton R8 tube integrated, Holo Audio Spring 3 KTE DAC, audio optimized NUC7i5, Windows 10 Pro/JRiver MC29/Fidelizer Plus 8.7 w/LPS and external SSD drive, PS Audio PerfectWave P3 regenerator, KEF R3 speakers, Rythmik F12SE subwoofer, Audioquest Diamond USB cable, Gabriel Gold IC's, Morrow Audio SP5 speaker cables. Computer - Windows 10/JRiver, Schiit Magni 3+/Modi 3+, Fostex PMO.4n monitors, Sennheiser HD600 headphones

    I should have said they were the best 12AU7's I'd tried in my amp until the Psvanes.

    Thank you george! It was so hard to pass up on these but I really dont need another set.
    If life had more tubes it would be a lot smoother.

    Got the tubes Friday--wow--fast --and while I pack items to withstand an atomic blast--his packing takes it to another level--tried to leave FB--says I do not have permission--thanks--BTW--they all test very close --esp the sections. :smile:

    Glad you got them so quick considering they had to go about 3000 miles :) BTW, I haven't been able to leave feedback lately either. Let us know how they compare to what you were using.
