quite a collection Adrian. It looks like you collect in groups of 12 or am I mistaken. How many total tube s in your collection and do any of them see rotation in your system. If you tell me your system is only solid state these are for collecting ..........

Do you have a photo of the entire collection

Hi Steve, not all of my collection more than 12 pieces , just like I have more than 90 EL34 metal base but just a couple valves like Telefunken ECC803S ,
I use to have Krell amplifiers but now all valves system as you guess, I'm really don't know how many valves I had, I'm using 12AX7 GZ34 EL34 EF86 EL84 ECC81 at the moment
