Hi all.

I found these at the weekend. I bought them from NOSTubestore back in 2015.

These were put in to storage as I bought 2 sets.

These are from the early to mid 1950s. Both have test results on them. They have a dark brown base with green text.

These are well known to be one of the top 5 in regards to sound. Amazing clarity and a wide sound stage.

Tested in my croft and they sound stunning.

Hard to come by now.

Asking £100 inc post (UK) for the pair.

PayPal giftywoo please.

Ps. Not sure if it's a good idea to post anything at this moment in time seeing as Royal Mail has a huge backlog. So it might be best after Christmas? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201221/47e429a3b5ad1a4a8c0b9ac6f0ce3a62.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201221/9a7a270949365358fb7ff40f86830073.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201221/fd759a8756fe256a13a4602c1ba9db28.jpg

Agreed on that; I had a parcel posted to me on the 5th and it only arrived this morning. Could have walked to Sheffield and back in that time, and had days to spare. Makes one wonder what they do with mail these days.

Lovely valves by the way!

Covid has now, become the catch all answer for piss poor service matched with ott pricing. MyHerpes et al may offer a poor insurance claim service but atleast they get stuff to you within 3-5 days as promised and at a sensible price.

Spot on and it’s not only related to delivery services.

Yes a smashed up pair of speakers in a crushed box within 3-5 days :lol: I'd rather wait longer and have them in good condition.

Delivered within the quoted delivery window, but looks like it was thrown through a window.

I would, Andy, if I were you! :trust:;)

They'd be a valuable addition to your 'arsenal'.

The 6SU7GTY Tung-Sols have landed today so they will have to wait until probably after new year if they are still here.

Nice one - enjoy. However, these ones Jo's selling are worth having too - honestly!

How do they compare with the red 5691s?

Hi Rob,

Just as sparkly, dynamic and detailed, but a touch lighter in the bass, but not so much that you'd notice with most material. They also add a nice 'creamy' quality to vocals, but importantly, similar to 5691s, they're proper military spec and designed to last, so very reliable. I use some in my Croft:)

They are brilliant valves, Marco.

I still use a set in my phono stage.

These could be happily put back in the box if nobody is interested.

Really nice tone, space, weight.

Not desperate to sell so back in the box they go.
