    Thrilled with this transaction. From the start the listing was detailed and showed all test results clearly. Tubes arrived as described and packaged very carefully. Currently running a pair in my Antique Sound Lab stereo amp and they sound glorious! Shipping was quick and I definitely got a great deal. Thank you!
