Not saying the ones from 70s are bad, they are nice also. And the ones I used to have look almost the same construction as the GEC 6AS7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing looks like the Sith; valve lords ruling all over from the ISO Emperor. Very impressive work. Let go of your thermionic fear old Jedi. Will do Darth.

xlr8or Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Majestic G-80 globe from the late 1920's. The plates are slanted to one side due to creep and the rectifier being stored on its side for close to 95 years. Love the refined sound of the big charcoal plates.

Jehuty Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Radiotron UX171-A vs. Cunningham CX345, I didn't realise the 71A is a bit smaller than the 45. Interesting stickers on the the UX171-A. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely sounding 6922/E88CC tubes you have there. The pair on the left I can see are what look like Amperex Hicksville Long Island production from the 51st week of 1959. There should be a 2-lined horizontal 7-L-number *9-letter etched code on the glass envelope near the bottom and also a 9-number-number vertical etched code at the top of the glass envelope. The Philips Holland pair on the right look to be Eindhoven production with pink 7-L-number 6-6-letter codes. They should also have a vertical number-number-letter etched code at the top. Happy to provide further info if you share these date codes. Edited July 6, 2022 by xlr8or 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwbasement Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) A few little boys arrived, trying them out one by one compare to the E80CC. At first, 12AY7 and E80CC sound the best, 6060 white T very close (will need to listen for longer time) then 12AX7 bugle boy. Don't get me wrong though, they all sound very nice.
