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?

Crap man our power went out at 5pm and has just come back on. I was playing my NT when it went out. Fortunately it is ok after being shut down all of a sudden. I had taken out the AT7 and put the RCA 12AX7 in paired with an AC5 right now. Boy I was hearing some nice overtones and neat bell like tones while playing open chords and then the power went dead.
All seems well and I'm going to continue to roll the NOS between the NT and DSL. Those RCA are sweet no doubt! Thanks again mate. I've run out of time to play as it is late now so I will pick it up tomorrow. Sure wish I could still be playing though.
Marty I will run by any tubes I might want to try before I buy to get your opinion on what kind of deal it is. I'm not going to be buying until after I get the EL84's from you anyways. What you gave me already will keep me going for awhile as it is so I'm pretty much set and having fun.
