Ordering Information Vintage Tubes Sales Lists Chimera Labs Home Page
NIB (New In Box), NOS (New Old Stock) or Tested Pulls (Used Tubes) sourced from vintage Audio and Military Equipment suppliers. Price per "Unit", each is the price for a single tube. Unit Price, pair is for a pair of tubes. Tubes identified as matched Pairs will also have matched sections, unless they are identified as having unmatched sections. If tubes are sold as “matched pair”, there will be no extra charge to matching. These function perfectly in circuits where each channel is amplified by both Triode Sections of the tube. Tubes test 80% or better. Test percentage numbers less than 80% will be listed in the tube description. Cost to match tube sections will add $2.00 to the tube price. Cost to match tube pairs will add $4.00 to the price of a pair of tubes.
I prefer the sound of 5965 tubes instead of 12AT7 tubes. Listening evaluation of the various 5695 and 12AT7 types was down with a Tube DAC. All the customers that have tried the 5695 tubes in their preamp and amplifiers have also preferred the sound of the 5695 Tubes.
