In the Thread: A new European production of 12AX7?
Post Subject: Worth it just for the "fins"Posted by Paul S on: 11/10/2007
Well, for $225/ea they'd better be good!
So who is going to find out if disgruntled users can get their money back?
I bought something from this bunch a while back and they were OK to deal with.
EAT? Bad name for a tube.
"European" could mean Russian, but not Chinese.
I haven't checked the price on "ribbies" for a while, but at last check they cost less than these EAT tubes.
On the one hand, you'd think they would at least price this new tube under top NOS offerings.
OTOH, the "high price trick" does have a predictable success rate.
I would be interested to see if these turn up anywhere else, perhaps at a better price, once supplies build up.
I also wonder if they are from a new manufacturer/plant or if they are OEM'd from some existing plant.
If the latter, which seems most likely, I would next wonder how they suddenly came up with the capacity to make "superior" tubes, like they never did before.
