SteveFord Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I filled out that form and KT88, 6550 and EL34 for me. It may be quite some time and I think they'll be really expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 One fellow in Canada has some of their 6SN7s in his preamp, he says they're the best he's tried but no idea about the price. Look at the price of their 300B: https://www.westernelectric.com/300b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
