Anyone ever have, use or hear this tube?


I always thought that the pinnacle of the ecc82/12au7 type tube was the Telefunken ecc802s. Even better than the Amperex 7316. But, I recently found out that there is an extra special designation for some ecc802's dubbed the G73R. These are supposed to be unmatched in quality and longevity, said to last 40,000+ hours! Anybody familiar with, heard or own these things??

The right side chin, the pointed right hook? Hurt for the week, all it took..

The CVtubes? Still unlooked.....all of this in search of ’nook’ *!?!*"

The rest of the tale unravels rather quickly after that......*tsk*
