2m pair of Luminous Audio Synchestra Signature Speaker Cables with copper spades at the speaker end and locking bananas at the amp end. These are my reference speaker cables, but I recently had to move up to a bi-amp version, so these are up for sale. These cables are heavy with a lot of copper to give you speakers all the breathing room they need. $200 + shipping

I have been using all these tubes as subs for 6922/6DJ8 in my integrated amplifier with great success. They aren't electronically identical tubes, but can be swapped in most situations for good results over stock tubes. Clarification from Wikipedia:
The 6N1P has similar ratings to the 6DJ8 and in the past was sometimes rebranded as such, however there are differences between the two types; the 6N1P requires double the filament current and has only one third the S value. The S is about 4.35 ma/V , the 6DJ8/ECC88 has a S of 12.5 ma/V and a gain of 33 and a lower internal resistance.
The closest western equivalent to the 6N1P is the well known 6BQ7A. A ruggedized/extended ratings version of the tube is designated 6N1P-EV (Russian: 6Н1П-ЕВ) It has currently found a use as a driver tube in hi-fi tube amplifiers (such as Audio Research models VS55 and VS110) because of its excellent low distortion and low noise characteristics. The tube was manufactured by the "Voskhod" plant in Kaluga, Russia and can be distributed in the West under the Sovtek and Svetlana brand names. -
All tubes were tested in my Superior TV-11 tester, then burned in and confirmed by ear. Tubes show no sign of wear and pins are great.
The cables probably have 1000 hours on them as they have been my reference cables, and are in perfect condition. -
Anyone need great speaker cables or better than stock tubes?
