I'm iz out my dam mind........

A couple years back, I bought a quad of GE 6BQ5s and 6EU7s from an AK'er Gary Kaufmann. As a bonus, he threw in an Amperex 6085 "PQ" (European 12BH7 variant) that "...still has some life in it.", for me to check out on my Bottlehead can amp.

WOW! Super clean, quiet and sweet sounding tube.

Problem was, it only lasted a few months then went claws up on me. When he said "...a little life left..." he wasn't joking. But, who am I to complain when it was free?

Anyhow, I was browsing Ebay earlier, when guess what popped up in "Recommendations for You.". That's right. At first glance I was thinking, "No way, too much at $78.". But, curiosity overcame me and I just had to look.

NOS/NIB, "Good" is 2380, this one tests 2800/3200. A slight channel imbalance, maybe. What's worse is after browsing the rest of these and seeing that they typically run over $100 for a strong, USED tube...........

Well, it's on its way from Reading, Pennsylvania.

$78 for a single tube? I must be out my dam mind.
