Well I've, over several days, read this entire thread. Very informative. I wish it were as active as it once was.
I have some Tung Sol 7581As on order. I just removed my GL KT66s and am listening to Russian 6P3S quad. Nice tubes, great sounstage, maybe a bit shy on bass. Looking for some 7027As. Unfortunately I bought my ZMA at just the wrong time tube wise. Some amazing tube prices mentioned in this thread. Some amazing in a different manner prices out there now.
On input and inverter tubes, it seems very hard to find any of the recommended tubes, Telefunken, Tungsram, Mullard and Ediswan. There is a seller in the ukraine that has some tungsrams but his photos show them in the same packaging as several other bulk tubes he carries so I wonder if they are Chinese knockoffs.
Finally, it seems member stone_of_tone was posting enthusiasticly in early 2019 and then just quit posting. His last post talked about tube rolling and working 31.5 hours over the next 3 days. I hope he is ok. I enjoyed his comments.
