Are you buying up the supply to raise the prices on these tubes, to them sell them for a profit? 
I love tubes, can’t keep up with your weekly hauls.

Haha! Yea, I gotta stop soon. I have a few left I really want and then I’m set. For the ones I have I’m set pretty much and I think I found the last ones I need already and just wait for my paycheck to pay for them.

So what is left?
And for your next post you should do a group pic for bragging rights. Ask folks to try to identify them for shits and giggles.

I’m an SET fan. My favorite tubes for my 2A3 amp are from EAT (European Audio Technology but are no longer available. I picked up a 300B integrated amp and had a head phone jack installed. Anyone have recommendations for 300B tubes?

I don’t have a sexy dead dog rug like @Earmuffs but so my dirty mouse pad will have to do.

Damn, did you use that mouse pad as a doggie comb.

@prfallon69 sorry, can’t think of a witty response but it is a comfy blanket and now everytime I look at it the thing reminds me of an Irish Greyhound.

It used to belong to my teenage son, and he gave it to me when he got a new XL one for his gaming, so I don’t even want to think what he might have used it for.

@andris, I wonder if your 1962 Mullard sounds exactly the same as my 1961 “made by Mullard”. One day, we should do a tube swap, as you suggested. I’m a bit nervous about doing that with mega-expensive tubes but these should be fine.

Definitely. Like you said, these aren’t that expensive (relative to some of the crazy NOS stuff, anyway), so not the end of the world if something happens. Brent said to let these burn in for about 48 hours, so I’ll get them to that, but after they’re nice and toasted, let’s do some swapping.

Nice. I love the fact Emission Lab stands by their product by offering a 5 year guarantee.
Speaking of… I need to register these. Thanks for the reminder!
