Have fun. It will light up your ears. Greater dynamics than the RGN20004 mesh plate (which I kept as I also love that tube). For me the Valvo G2504 with the SRS 551 was a game changer in my system, The world of esoteric tubes has hit we Lampi users whilst we all wait for the next happenings in all things TaikoGot my sheath and 2504 tube.
Pound for pound, this must take the cake:
RARE EZ81/ 6CA4 NOS Siemens Holy Grail
Difficult to find original Siemens-made rectifier tube, early 1960s vintage, grey plate, ring getter. NOS with a good label. The very best and rarest of the EZ81 or 6CA4 tubes ever made. Labeled Realistic LifetimeI have been testing premium EZ81 tubes. This is significantly extended with a silky...www.usaudiomart.com
A little EZ81 beating up all the big boys price-wise.
It's the same seller and item. Description and reason for selling are identical.The price is probably wishful thinking. the really expensive tubes are subminiature tubes for neumann microphones, some types ac 701 have high four-digit prices for nos/nib.Siemens EZ81/6CA4 RARE NOS | eBay

Same hereEureka!!!
It works everyone! Now basking in the glow of the srs551s Nd listening to some good tunes
It's truly amazing what the right dampening can do to the sound. Much more details and separation. It's another bump up in naturalness.might have a think to see how I can apply this to the rgn adaptors....Microceremic sphere damping. Took quite a bit to get them in there but the whole base is filled with it. Once dry will get the exterior coat on for the innards. Srs adaptor heaven
Let me think ………How do you spell I A NWell, someone just bought ALL of the Chelmer tubes on EBAY.
I guarantee you now they will be $350 each instead of $150
I was waiting to see what the outcome was on the adapters and someone snagged all the tubes before I could buy any.
Oh well. Happy with what I have.
Steve, Those Krons sound excellent!
Another gone..Let me think ………How do you spell I A N
Haha not me pointed out where to get em cheap but hand on the bible I didn't get them all hahaLet me think ………How do you spell I A N

For me the unknown and soon to be explored is the c3gsTis true, we are tube crazy. Touché. But the Horizon is worth dialing in and the good news is that those who sit on the sidelines and watch won’t spend as much money as those experimenting, yet will benefit from our experience. I think so far OS1/RS1003/6384, ECC32 or 31/quad of tele, and great recti RGN, Frankie or NOS 5U4G are all great options.. I could settle anywhere in that territory.
System synergy will mattter, of course!

I felt guilty about it, but I bought two of the Valvos from Ian…The only other kudo is that when you find that special set that checks all of the boxes, keep your mouth shut until you find the same set as back up because if you don’t two things will happen
1. The price of the tube will triple overnight
2. You waited too long and the tube is gone
