Thanks Ian,
Reverb isn't as big here in the UK but I'll look into it because I've had too many bad experiences with ebay too.

Re: Rectifier Tubes
Some doubt about uptake off Reverb from audiophiles, and yes it is tough finding sure ways to sell if you’re a private person with a few valuable items ..
Re: Rectifier Tubes
Well I don't seem to be getting rich on these!
I put 26 x 6939's on Ebay at £50 and didn't get a sniff so I put the 3 boxed ones back on for £15 and got the same result.
Also a dealer offered me £100 for all 6 rectifiers which I turned down.
I'm starting my first build soon so I figured that when I get the transformer in at least I can test the rectifiers and sell them as known good ones or if I like them, keep them in the amp.
I don't know how they'll sound but they look a lot cooler than a 5AR4

Hello -
Seems like a fine plan. If the CV378 is at spec it's close enough you likely won't notice any differences.
Best .. Ian
