Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Re: Osram markings

In my own defense, nobody is "ganking" tube collectors here. These normally sell at $300-$350 per pair at retail. Although you have bought from me before, you failed to mention that you found the listing on eBay at $199 per pair (close to dealer price)hmmm,,,I wonder why that was omitted? There are quite a few tube dealers which buy from us and they are gladly paying $150 per pair, 10 pairs at a time for these. Your opinion about the sound of the A2900 is merely that, your opinion. How they sound depends quite a bit on your circuit, and what you prefer,,,the A2900 has consistently won 12AT7 shootouts ie HKaudio shootout.
The statement that the tubes are not manufactured by MOV/GEC etc is PURE nonsense. Someone who obviously does not know what they are talking about makes an assumption, and then the next thing you know, geniune GEC A2900 are now made by Brimar?? This is plain and simple ignorance. Thankfully, one of the tube ayslum members responded and corrected your false assumption as well. Unfortuantely, this response seemed to have been overlooked as well. Z= GEC Hammersmith factory which all of the tubes have clearly marked on them in the traditional military designation. We have these listed on our website at $349.99 per pair which approx retail, but the pricing on the eBay listing and our audiogon listing for a limited number of pairs was significantly lower.
