Selling: Western Electric 396a, 1 pair. Siemens Halske CCa, 1 pair.

Selling 1 pair of Western Electric 396A tubes.

I bought these from Jim McShane in January after recommendation from @philipmorgan and @Garns as a gm matched pair and I've been using them in a Mjolnir2 as my primary pair of tubes. For Mjolnir2 this is a very good match highly recommended by many well respected users here.

I paid $109 for them including non-insured shipping.

Friends pay $90 including insured shipping anywhere.
Randos pay $100 including insured shipping anywhere.
SOLD!

I'm also selling a pair of Siemens Halske CCa tubes.
I bought this pair as new in box. The wear you see on the box top lid is from when the previous owner, who was a tube collector and didn't use them, took them out of the box for measuring and potentially looking at them...or whatever these people do, and for me taking them out twice. That's it. I've used them for perhaps 15 hours in total, not one minute more than that, probably less. The boxes are fragile so I don't want to take them out more than I have to.

I'm selling this pair simply because I found a pair of late fifties CCa's (Green, Beige, Brown box) and one should not own more than one pair of these tubes, especially not when the money can be used to fund the swelling bandcamp wish list.

Friends pay $220 including insured shipping anywhere.
Everyone else pay $250 including insure shipping anywhere.

I'll defer from further adjectives regarding sound quality, cost vs value or anything else. You be the judge. I also dare you to find a pair anywhere for a lower price.

As always: no bitching, complaining or arguing over PM.
