Current production tubes

I may have typed that too early.
I may have found the real culprit….
A loose connection, as the wise Grant said.

So, casually browsing eBay, as you do, I came across a 1960’s Siemens ECC83 which was not attracting a lot of attention, and I managed to get it for a very good price. It is a really nice sounding tube.

I bought this to replace my Silver Plate Mazda, as I do not fancy paying the price the Mazda tubes are being sold at.
Obviously the Siemens is not a current production tube, but it is very good, and cost me the same as the JJ, and is probably better.

I used this site to check if it was a good tube, as not all S&H ECC83 are equal….

Siemens are very nice tubes. Usually expensive.
