Re: GEC 6l6, Why so expensive?

That's actually low for them.....they're usually $300.00 & up for a matched pair

Re: GEC 6l6, Why so expensive?

yeah...$200 a pair is a bargen! There are other tubes that bring WAY more that $200 a pair...not to say that 200 bones for a pair of tubes is not a lot of cheese, it is but price a set of 6146's or NOS 7027's...and those are just 2 off the top of my head...

Re: GEC 6l6, Why so expensive?

$200/pair

Re: GEC 6l6, Why so expensive?

I've seen some audiophile type tubes, can't remember what, but they were $800.00 a pair!!!

You think we're gear crazy....These guys that deal in high end audio equipment are completely NUTS!!!

The local guy I get tubes from Ken at www.tubeman.com has a GIGANTIC collection of albums. The last time I was there, he showed me his audio room......MASSIVE surround sound stereo equipment. The very best of everything.

Made me & my Pioneer stereo seem completely insignificent

Re: GEC 6l6, Why so expensive?

My bad...thats $400 a pair which is about right but...that guy doesn't have any!

Re: GEC 6l6, Why so expensive?

Too dang much....whether it's per or for the pair....

Re: GEC 6l6, Why so expensive?

I think Mike @ KCA NOS usually sells them in the $300s, but matched pairs in good condition are VERY RARE!!!!\

BAH....I'll stick with my GTs

[the guy who invented fire]

Re: GEC 6l6, Why so expensive?

Yeah...Mike sells them for $385 a pair...most guys don't even really need them but if you have a JTM-45 a set of GEC KT-66 IS THE TUBE TO GET!

Re: GEC 6l6, Why so expensive?

You know, it would be hilarious if the guy setting those up for a pic knocked the tubes over somehow and busted them into a million pieces.
