I went to that link and they wanted 70 or 80 bucks apiece for Raytheon BP 12AX7's. I just bought six for less than $30 a piece and they all test in the high altitude regions of my meter. So I guess I won't let $27.45 each bother me too bad.

They did have some fair prices on JAN Sylvania 6L6WGB's. Standard matching is within 3 mV of each other. The price was $178 for a quad. That's not bad for brand new tubes.

I'll have to spend a little more time looking at the prices and finding the bargains, cuz $70 bucks for an AX7 is getting a little pricey. Ya know?
