on eBay. Coming from frickin' Moldova or somewhere. NOS (allegedly), bought yesterday, shipped today, trackable. Seller has excellent feedback, no negatives, tons of sales--so why not, says I. With any luck these should last awhile--so far they're the most expensive tubes I've ever bought.

You are a die-hard EF86 lover who knows what he wants and will do whatever is required to get it. Those are great tubes.

When I got my RAY, it shipped new with a Dario. I wish I could get one for the M12. Congratulations on having a keen eye for the rare tubes.

Thanks, guys. Yeah, assuming these are true NOS I'm pretty excited about them. I liked the Svetlana my Z-28 shipped with, but it went microphonic pretty quickly. I've been through a few different EF86s since then and they've been okay, but haven't been quite as musical as the stock tube (assuming I even remember what it sounds like, which maybe I don't--it's been awhile). Hoping the Darios are the holy grail everyone says they are. I guess Doc's using the Winged C now as a stock tube--gonna pop one in today and see what's what.

I think I've got a Tesla in there now--it's okay. I liked the breakup of the Svetlana better, though. Smoother, seemed like.

Hey Jon.....Did you get yours? Mine came today and look like the real deal! Packed well and rolled up in some 40-50 year old cotton type packing. Can't wait to try them. ....Hurry up Z28!
