Because at the end of the day, there is no substitute for cubic inches or power tubes! In this case, quality pounces quantity, if you have high efficiency speakers.

Marvel Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I used EH 2A3 Gold Grid and thought they were wonderful and priced well. I'm glad you were able to stock up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EH and sovteks are quite nice. I haven't compared to any RCA tubes. Not sure I've met a 2a3 I didn't like... I lie I have a fake Mullard labeled 2a3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I searched for these tubes yesterday and the only place I could find them at all was asking 1760.00/quad. I might have to rethink what I want to do with these, lol. Are you thinking of selling them? I would like to have at least a couple extra kt 150s for backups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Not sure yet. I bought them along with driver tubes that are a complete set of spares for my current amp. I am pretty sure I'm selling the amp soon. I'm not going to give them to whomever buys it. Either they pay a premium, I sell them separately, or just hang on to them. So that's the long answer, and I know it doesn't really help you any.

John Warren Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 The tube crisis is manufactured. JJ can easily supply the current demand. For those that are in need, you're being played. JJ is shipping but $ are still x3 what they were this time last year. Wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
