FS: LinLai E-2A3 matched pair

Selling an excellent pair of Linlai™ Global E-2A3 Permalloy Metal Plate Vacuum Tubes. (Listed on HF for more).

Reason for sale is I'm looking to try out different 2A3 tubes in my Stratus. After some rolling adventures it turns out these still sound excellent, but paired with a specific rectifier the treble can be a bit much for my baby ears. (I am notoriously treble-sensative so take my impressions with a huge grain of salt).

These are very resolving, dead quiet and clean tubes. I'm on the hunt for something a little more bloomy however as I am apparently a warm-poo guy.

I purchased this matched pair new from premium vacuum tubes (Grant Fidelity) for $550 plus tax and shipping.

Asking for $375 total for Friends or Contributors.

If I had to guess I would say these have somewhere between 300 and 500 hours of use in a DNA Stratus...an amp that really does not drive these hard at all.

I will cover shipping and paypal fees.

PM with questions or to purchase.

@rhythmdevils you should consider these. I’m also tempted to get them as a spare pair since they’re currently not in stock.

 

Sold to @foo_me! @shotgunshane please close this thread. Thank you.
