Nothing huge here. Just a pair of EI gray plate 12AX7's. Only about 50 hrs use. Purchased here
http://store.tubedepot.com/ei-12ax7.html

Must have at least 50 posts and have a piece of gear that uses them. (can you say Jolida?) :D

Oh yeah....ends this Sunday 12AM EST

    Actually dragons are born every 12 years so add or subtract 12 from 1952 and if that's your birth year you're in! ;)

    Cool thanks. You'd think that 12AX7s would be fairly easy to come by, but that seems to be only true if you're wanting new production tubes or are willing to pay stupid prices for Vintage NOS, which I prefer, but have a limit on what I will spend for a tube. Some of these places want up tp $300 for a SINGLE Amperex or Telefunken tube :rolleyes: , which is ridiculous. I could se myself paying up to $160 for a quad of nice Amperex from Holland, but that's my limit. I've been quite surprised with the Black Long Plates I got last week. They're pretty nice sounding, better than the highly sought-after Tele smooth palte diamond bottoms I have, ymmv of course. Tubes are very subjective....a tube that I like might sound like dogshit to you.

    Dragon,

    Do you still have my addy??

    I've got the Shadeland Dodge addy. Is that cool? BTW, how'd you like the PC? I can take the criticism if you didn't. Just curious.

    The cable is fine, just a bit on the stiff side. I'm using it on the ELP right now. I'm still looking to get a couple more PCs, but will likely get more of the Signals.


    That addy is just fine.

    Yeah it is pretty stiff. Not sure if all the Signals are like that or not. You should check out the Zu Birth PC's on Ebay. They are nice and flexible.
