IMO the new production 12AX7 tubes are mediocre. NOS Mullard are terrific, as are the Brimar 12AX7 type tubes. Next tier are the USA 575 and 12AX7 Cheers, P .......

I own the ZOLT LTA 10 watt power amplifier with separate power supply. Deceptively powerful across the bandwidth, smooth and liquid, but not warm. Extraordinarily transparent and detailed. Sometimes, .......

How about zero? Just post the pictures or send them to my email and I can provide a range of pricing. If any are high $ tubes, then we can talk testing. Best, Paul .......

A detailed, honest assessment! I too, own the Devore Super Nines and I have a comment or two - 1. The imaging on the speakers is world class. 2. Dynamics are very good and balanced with the smoothness .......

$59 per matched pair is fair market value....at $99 you get into RCA VT231 and much more desirable 6SN7 types (in general). Best, P .......

The 6080 tubes in general are not the best audio tubes - but the Bendix is the best. Try the 2399 or 5998 tubes for Best in Class! My opinion...P .......
