congrats! I have routinely seen this on the 'bay going for over $100!

No shit? Thats what were in the Melos when I bought it, and they sound substantially better then the Ei's I swapped out for them. But if they truly are a terrible tube, then I'm in for a treat when I get these new tubes in.

Why, old bean, I believe you are making a sly reference to a penis!

oh, okay!! geez I was confused there for a second, sorry about that.

thats fine, but I'm wondering if I missed something about the expression "shit your own tubes". Is this some DIY talk or something I don't understand?

hot dogs, sausage, and even ground beef aren't THAT expensive. and all three are delicious.

but seriously though I don't know what you mean when you say shit your own tubes.

wut is brian?

what?

oh shit, is flora that girl who comes in town with her brother? SPOILERS** that scene with cy and the two kids... fucking brutal, eh? way fucked up. *********SPOILERS FOR DEADWOOD CREEPIN ON AH COME UP**************

son of a bitch. word to the wise, don't forget to delete your snipe when you decide you don't want to bid. now i'm stuck with these. oh well, maybe they'll sound okay. needless to say I'm not springing for the 7308 pqs now, as I just inadvertently shot my tube budget load.

what character is she?

what?

shit tubes? what?

who is that? i'm at work so I don't want to google her and pull up sexy pictures.

wtf is toolaudio?

Here are the tubes I'm using now: Lot of 100 Phillips JAN 6922 And he's got 10 boxes!

Really? Hmm. Might have to cancel the snipe and try for some 6922s instead. The reason I aimed for 7308s is I want a tube that will last a good long while in the Melos.

interesting! I come to the DIY forums to learn.

This is true. I'll have to think about it.

I've already sent payment for the BBs, I'll take pictures and attempt to verify authenticity when they arrive. What tips you off about the 7308s?

So after just over a month of daily use, the Ei 6dj8s crapped out on me. Wow. As a stopgap I put the Sylvania JAN 6922s back in, even though one is slightly microphonic. Surprisingly. the SQ increase is definitely noticeable. I didn't realize quite how much poorer the Ei's sounded until I put the Syl's back in. Funny how that works. I just one an auction for some Bugle Boys, even though the impressions I've read of them in the old Melos tube rolling thread are lukewarm. My snipe was set so low I was positive I wouldn't win them, but I guess I did. I've also got a snipe setup for a pair of Amperex PQ 7308s, which I'm hoping will become my primary tubes in my Melos for a long time to come.

I was just thinking how interesting a comparison between a dynamite and a 4ch beta22 would be.

thanks, that is a good read which led me on to some more good reads!

So give me the scoop. I love the Dynahi sound, but I've never heard the Dynalo. I read an old thread over at *website named censored by moderation team*, and it stated that roughly the -lo is intended for lower impedance phones, while the -hi is intended for higher impedance phones, but that really both low and high impedance phones seem to perform fantastically out of both. My Dynahi is just as kickass with my HD650 as my HP2. Has anyone ever done any lo/hi shootouts, or can make any general comments on their general sound signatures? Thanks for your time!
