No one has figured out how to build a vintage sounding Mullard 12AX7 long plate. The Mullard is not exactly as ultra clear sounding as a Brimar CV4004, but still has all the details & is more musical.

come on, stay honest! people who claim not to enjoy the rising worth of their vintage tubes ring hollow in my ears. i collected any vintage tube for low frequency purposes i could get over a decade now (ECC.., EL.., EF...and many other types) and hope these tiny masterpieces will some days extend my pension...
reissues: why purchase new built tubes - rudely increased in prices meanwhile - when you can get an original? who would ever be happy with a porsche 550 (j. dean) or mercedes 300sl (gull-wing doors) when it is just a remake? would you? i would not...

The times, they are changing...
As I said I rarely sell and can't seem to charge enough to make a profit even if I wanted to. Yes theoretically some of the tubes I have that are desired such as the Sylvania triple mica blackplate 5751s that I have as NOS NIB are worth considerably more than I paid for them. I don't mind knowing I don't have to pay a high price to buy them if I need them but I want to keep them. Maybe someday someone will have to pry my cold dead hands open to get them.

A pair of true NOS 6900's.
