I agree Sherod that the price seems high but an admittedly superior product. With patience, I was able to land two quad sets each for about $600 each, perhaps not as nice NIB but good tubes NOS or ANOS. I think you got an even better deal under th...

Sherod Thanks for the cca reference. I inquired and he wants $1,250 USD for a quad matched within 5%. Mark, keep us posted on your Russian tubes. I have now compared two seperate sets of early cca Siemens, to Telefunkens, early Siemens E88cc, and ...

I obtained some tubes to play with in the AH preamp and will report: They include a quad Siemens E188cc from the year 1960, a quad of Siemens early sixty cca, and a quad of Telefunken early sixty E88cc. From my want ad on a-gon, offers are still c...

Well, my AH has returned from the preamp spa and it is so great to be enjoying it again. All the detail is there that I have had with my ss these weeks, plus the musicality is back. Joseph floated the board as Rx8man has suggested we do, and Josep...
