pair of Upscale Audio Russian 6922 type 3

scottyf

I have about 10 hours on these tubes. They are the platinum super quiet graded, and I will attest, they were the quietest tubes in my phono section. However, I heard some Ampy 7308's soon after and these just didn't compare. I could have sent them back for a refund, but I was busy with work and just didn't get around to it.

Paid $60 plus shipping, will sell for $45 shipped in a box with lots of padding.

What are they? Reflector factory? Are they 6H23's? 6H30's?

Talk to me goose.

Not sure about the factory...don't know the Rusky tubes that well

In silver on the tube they have
6H23N - EB
8901

In blue
OTK7

Pins are pointed. Here's a picture from Upscale's website. They are in the same box and have the same diamond logo on them.

I think my sister has my camera...I can probably post pictures of the actual tubes tomorrow if you like.

Can't find info on which factory these were made in. Tubestore sells them also and has a better picture of the type of printing on the bottles:

Mine are matched pair, platinum low-noise pair. Aparently, they are very tough and good for Audible Illusions preamps. Kevin suggested them for my Counterpoint, telling me that many Counterpoint owners really liked them.

My sister doesn't have my camera. I'm trying to track it down now to get some pictures up.....

I get the feeling nobody wants these, but I said I'd post a picture. Found my camera (my housemate had it) so I took these.

I'd do $30 shipped just to have as spares if you wanted to go that low and no one else wants them.

That's too much of a loss. By the time I sent them off to you, I would only recoup $25 of the $68.50 I spent on these. That's too much of a loss for tubes that I can't tell have been used on my tube tester. I know I have 10 (probably more like 7 or 8) hours on them, but they test just like I got them.

Thanks for the offer.

Thanks!

Searched high and low to find out what factory they were from. It appears from this thread that they are Reflector factory tubes. Not a whole lot of info on the web.....

I'll go $32.50 shipped. F Chuck.

They are awesome tubes. I have the ones from TheTubeStore, same packaging and all and they are they only ones out there that will last any amount of time with the abuse the Audible Illusions amp gives them. The box says "Paano" and "JaJung" on it. Hard to tell exactly because of the way it's written. Other tubes last maybe a few weeks before becoming microphonic in the AI, these last over a year, close to two.

Edit: My boxes also say "6H23N-EB" if that means anything to anyone...

RuSsMaN

They are old 'virgin commies', I've got a box of them, but can always use another matched pair (for the right price).

madmax

Hey, if effen Russman want's them that bad I'll go $35.00 US hard earned American dollars shipped. Last offer...

Thanks, but $45 is my price. I guess I should ask for more than I want so I could come down a bit. Just not the way I've ever done it with stuff. I discounted the amount I thought made a good deal for someone who wanted them.

If you are concerned with my having not sold anything on this forum, my ebay feedback is 100% (scottyf). Also, you can check with peersool (now Halo) because I sent him a pair of tubes to try out. Nice pair of Matsushitas -- if he likes them, he'll send me a check. Otherwise, he'll send them back.

Oh jeez, we believe you...
