Title: PSA preamp tubes
Post by: joesatch on July 13, 2022, 04:19:31 pm

I bought (and received) a stockpile of these preamp tubes. Decent price (in this environment).

Done. Thank you! I should have grabbed more but I want others to have a chance at these prices. seemed a little too good to be true, especially with the next day shipping price. but since youve received them can’t wait!

I also picked up a few. Seems to be better than half the price elsewhere
Guess I need another project or two :-)

i have the opposite problem. 25 projects on my list, but the parts for one, maybe 2.

this dozen of 12ax7s will help, though!

I found that Hawk Electronics has the best prices for Hammond iron.

Thanks for the heads up on those tubes.  Just placed an order as well.  My stash of NOS is sadly depleted.

Tubes came today. Good Price relative to other stores.
I bought 12ax7 TungSols and 12ax7 ElectroHarmonix
The description sounded like there was a difference
But, at least to my ears, they sound the same
And they seem to be nearly the same tube build with a different box and silk screen

Mine arrived as well. about to order more this week.

I ordered and received 2 of the Tung Sol 12AX7.

I notice they are dated 03 22, i.e. after the invasion of Ukraine.
