I have some tubes I am no longer interested in.

I have a matched quad of JJ's EL34's with about 400 hours on them at the most. $35.00 SOLD

I have a pair of Mullard 12at7wa with about 400 hours on them. $35.00 SOLD

I have a pair of Jan-Phillips 6922's with about 50 hours on them. $20.00

I have a pair of JJ's 6922's with about 50 hours on them. $10.00

I have a pair of silver Groove Tubes 12ax7-m with about 50 hours on them. $10.00 SOLD

I have a pair of Ei Elites gold pins that I have no idea how many hours on. $40.00 SOLD
I don't have a tube tester so I have no way to test them. But all of these tubes are pretty much new.

All prices include shipping.

Since I can't test them if you get a tube that doesn't work I will refund you money in full.

Thanks for looking

Nick

    How do you know the EL34 are matched? If they are, I'll take them.

    Hmmmm?? I don't I guess??:confused: I bought two matched pairs from thetubestore.com So I would assume they are matched. Correct?? The tubestore specifies when ordering two matched pairs you are buying a matched quad. So that is what I am going by. I don't actually have a tester to see how well they match though. If my information is wrong please let me know. Thanks

    Ok, I'll take them. They usually put stickers on their matched tubes. PayPal?

    If you talking about the stickers that were actually on the tubes. I took them off. They started to come off from the heat so I pulled them the rest of the way off. I can't remember what they said though. I thought they just said "thetubestore.com" on them.

    I got the money and address. Ill try to get them out Monday

    Jan Phillips 6922
    JJ's 6922
    Ei Elite 12ax7

    Are still for sale

    Does any body need any 6922 series tubes? They probably have less than 50 hours on them. Not even broke in yet. I think I have them priced at more than half what they cost new.

    Just buy'em and roll'em.:D

    I'll let the Ei's go for $20.00 I don't think they make them anymore or won't be much longer.

    Huh?? You want a review of the tubes I've sold??

    I sold them because none of them sounded good to me. All were to bright or analytical for my taste. Maybe others will have better luck with them.

    Its NOS stuff from here on out.

    Just move on, there's no reason to comment. The only reason people sell tubes is because they don't like, or need them anymore....pretty simple.

    I'll toss the EL34 into the goody box, thanks.

    You know.... Your right. The mullards are NOS. I don't recall havening any real dislikes with the mullards either. I like the GE's better that I have now though. They seem to be working better in conjunction with the other tubes. Almost like a nice synergy if that makes any sense.

    Do you mean the GE 5751's in the jolida cdp? I found those very pleasing also.

    The GE 12at7's are in the driver side of the amp. I actually ended up with the EH's in the cdp. I never expected to like the EH's. I'll probably roll some NOS stuff into the CDP eventually also. Right now I am more focused on the amp and then I'll turn my attention to the CDP.

    And again nobody's tubes went out today. I am in the process of taking over my dads Body shop and I am covered up with work. Which is a good thing......

    But I will try to get everybody's tubes out by the end of the week. Sorry for the delay. Just wanted to give everybody a heads up.

    Glad to hear they got there safely.

    I left you some positive feedback as well.

    I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on the Ei's

    I thought they were to bright. Smooth but bright.

    Enjoy!!


    I just got some vintage NOS tubes in the mail today also.:D

    Unfortunately I don't have a chart or anything to tell me so I just compare the results with other tubes I've tested and they are close. The tester came with a manual with the settings for all the tube types but no indication of what the new range is. I should have ask the seller. I think he deals in testers. I'll do that someday. If anyone knows where I can find this info, please let me know.
