Hi, I received yesterday my EZ80 tube in perfect condition and triple wrapped in bubble wrap.That was the first time I've bought from you but I'm now confident to buy more today.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob.
Got my match quad GE 6189 in excellent condition at reasonable price. My first transaction with you and i"m satisfied. I will refer your site in our local audiophile site. Until my next order. Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe RCA5814 are very special. A very unique sound. Laid back and relax. Big and warm sound. Not too warm. Vocal a little recess but integrated well with the other regions. Bass is godd detail but not a kick slam type, just more than enough to make the whole music flow seamlessly.
