Offered for sale are 4 closely matched pairs (8 tubes total) of Raytheon 12AX7 Blackplate tubes. I bought these tubes last year for use in a preamp that I have since sold, and I never used these sets. I had another set that was in the preamp I sold that I am keeping for myself. These 4 pairs were purchased as NOS and are in the same perfect condition as when I bought them from Brent Jessee in August 2013. I have only tested them to ensure they work well. I paid $45 per tube and am offering them now for a $10 discount per tube. These are superb NOS blackplate tubes and would work well in any high end preamp. I am selling them because Philips family tubes work better in my integrated amp and I would like to get more of those instead. I am rating them 8/10 even though they were purchased as NOS and should test as described on Brent's boxes (see pictures) because in some cases the labels have worn a bit from age. These would have been made in the 1950s. If you are interested in pairs I would sell them for $37.50 a tube or $75 for a pair. I will ship to USA, Canada, Europe and Asia. Paypal and shipping charges are the buyer’s responsibility. I have only one feedback report here on the Asylum but lots more on Audiogon under my moniker "agriculturist", so please look over there too if you would like.
