That Mullard is prolly more valuable to the guitar guys out there Robbin. You'd need to know how "used" it was to get top dollar though and if the two sides match or not.

Although I regret selling my McIntosh 240 tube amp (I sold it because I was hard press for cash at the time) I am not as taken in by the tube game as before. When I was in that zone I was prepared to spend good money on
tubes (KT66) if in my mind that was required to make my unit sing.

Personally I have accepted the limitation of sound reproduction and find
myself enjoying sounds, from my computer, solid state receiver and
Grommes integrated EL84 tube amp.

Probably what could draw me back into the audio chase - a system which
can play Mahler to my satisfaction.

I hope your tube brings you a whole lot of happiness.

As prices go up and new production gets better I've been turning to new production. I've got a nice stash of vintage stuff that I've had for years for guitar amp aplications but the 225 uses 7591's. These have gone through the roof in pricing but EH makes them, they sound great and are very affordable.

I have both tube and SS gear and enjoy both. I remember sitting around one day way back when thinking to myself, "You spend all this time searching out tube gear and tubes for guitar amps, mics and recording equipment only to play it back on SS gear. Maybe a tube rig is in order for playback also". From then on I've had both SS and tube for playback.
