eBay We are very pleased and proud to report that on January 5, 2022 we celebrated our 24th year of selling on eBay! Please check our many years of eBay feedback. Thanks to you for your continuing support! THIS AUCTON IS FOR A BALANCED VINTAGE DATE 12AX7LPS TUBE. THESE ARE VERY DIFFERENT SOUNDING FROM THE Sovek 12AX7LPS TUBES THAT ARE BEING MADE TODAY AND SOLD TODAY. WE CAN ALSO SUPPLY MATCHED & BALANCED PAIRS, MATCHED AND BALANCED SETS OF THREE, FOUR AND POSSIBLY EVEN MORE. Just use the eBay “Contact Seller” link to contact me and I will then offer what you need on eBay for you. Or, if you need a MATCHED AND BALANCED pair, simply purchase two of these and indicate in your payment that you would like a matched and balanced pair and that is what we will ship. A TOTALLY BALANCED TUBE, TRIODE #1 MATCHES TRIODE #2 ON THIS TUBE USING OUR CALIBRATED HICKOK TRANSCONDUCTANCE TUBE TESTER BALANCED Gm READINGS WILL BE ON EACH TUBE BOX THESE TUBES MAY ALSO BE AVAILABLE ON ANOTHER OF MY EbAY AUCTIONS IN MATCHED SETS, MATCHED AND BALANCED SETS, AND INDIVIDUAL BUT NOT BALANCED TUBES. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF THESE OTHER AUCTIONS HAVE ENDED AND I WILL RELIST MATCHED SETS OR INDIVIDUAL TUBES FOR YOU. NOTE: I AM ABOUT TO MAKE A VERY STRONG SIMPLE STATEMENT. Please read my feedback as well as comments from other customers below, before you rush to any judgements about me or the following statement: “THIS PARTICULAR BATCH OF THESE SOVTEK 12AX7LPS TUBES SOUND BETTER THAN ANY OTHER 12AX7 TUBE THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD.” Even more impressive to those who may be somewhat skeptical, more than 9 out of 10 of the eBay buyers who have purchased these tubes from me, have ordered more of these same tubes from on my eBay auctions after they received their first order. IN A NUTSHELL, HERE IS THE STORY ON THESE PARTICULAR TUBES: 1) These tubes were offered to me in a bulk nested lot, with no boxes, by one of my suppliers. I committed to purchase 100 of them. 2) When these arrived, I noticed that these were not newly made but rather the date codes indicated manufacture in late 2002 and early 2003. I have now obtained two other batches of these tubes with 1999 and 2001 date codes. The tube you will receive may be dated 2001, 2002, 2003 or 1999. NOTE to read date codes on these Sovtek tubes: The first number on these tubes is the year of manufacture, and the second number is the month of manufacture 3) Two audiophile friends and I tested these at first in a single-ended system which is very revealing. All three of us were blown away by the combination of musicality and transparency combined with a “punch” and very tight bass which is rarely…if ever…found in single-ended. My friends each immediately purchased 10 of these tubes from me as that was all I was willing to part with. 4) These were then tested in a pair of new TAD mono-block amps and again, the sonic results were astounding. These sounded better than any other 12AX7 tubes we tried including Vintage NOS European 12AX7 ECC 83 tubes. 5) I then tested these in my own pair of vintage Mcintosh MC60 amps. Again, I was blown away by the improvements offered by these tubes over any other 12AX7s that I have ever used including vintage NOS Tele 12AX7s and vintage NOS Mullard 12AX7s. 6) By now, my curiosity was really awakened, so I tried these in several vintage Fender Blackface amps in my own collection. I tested these in a 1960s Blackface Super Reverb and in a 1960s Blackface Vibrolux Reverb. And again, absolutely sonically wonderful. In conclusion, I can say that these particular RIBBED-PLATE tubes sound better to me, (and my two friends) than any other 12AX7 that we have ever used in both audiophile equipment and in my vintage Fender amps. And this includes American made NOS tubes and expensive NOS vintage European tubes. Now obviously there is no way that I can say for certain that you will like these as much as we did, but the above statements are all absolutely true. I am so enthusiastic about these tubes that I ordered the remaining 100 from this same supplier, which cleaned out his stock on these older but brand new 12AX7LPS tubes. I now am fortunate to obtain more of these excellent tubes made in 1999. I MAY NOW ALSO PROVIDE MATCHED SETS AND INIDVIDUAL TUBES, CONTACT ME VIA EBAY FOR MORE INFORMATION. Please look at my feedback. I am known during 25+ years on eBay for honesty and accurate descriptions. Please contact me using the “Ask Seller a Question” link above with any questions. And now the emails are starting to really come in…please read some comments I have received about this particular production run of these tubes from folks who have purchased these tubes from me in the last few weeks: Audiophile Rob Beneckson of Miami emailed these comments after purchasing these tubes from me on eBay for use in his headphone amplifier: “Sandy, I wholeheartedly agree with your opinion of these tubes. They improve the overall articulation of the music, and I noticed some quiet background detail on recordings that didn’t stand out as much previously. If you have another matched, balanced set, please reserve it for me and I will purchase on eBay and come by and pick it up in person soon. Were you able to locate a 6E2 or EM 87? Thanks, Rob” Rob Beneckson, Miami, FL Audiophile Johan Valenteijn of The Netherlands emailed these comments after receiving these tubes from me: “I put your two NOS Sovtek ECC83 12AX7LPS tubes together with two of your tube dampers per tube in my outstanding power-amp Llano Trinity 200 (USA handbuild). As a matter of fact, they outclassed the two Telefunkens I used before. Great stuff. Feel free to use this email in convincing any other potential buyer.” With kind regards, Johan Valenteijn, The Netherlands Audiophile Bob K. of Miami who after carefully evaluating these tubes had this to say: “Sandy, You’ve done it again! Thank you for letting me know about the “special run” older date-coded Sovtek 12AX7LPS tubes. In my TAD-1000 system they are magnificent. While I am keeping the EI Gold Pins I bought previously (they have their own attraction), these NOS Sovteks are something special. In my system, they opened up the soundstage even beyond the Gold Pins. I first used them in my amp, but after hearing the change they made I used up all you sent me in my McIntosh C20 preamp. As you know, I am careful about making declarations of “better” or “best”. I see too much nonsense, and often combinations of carefully selected components can make magic. Nevertheless in MY SYSTEM, these Sovtek 12AX7LPS tubes are it! How you can uncover these gems is beyond me, but thank you for it…Keep up the great work. You are saving me from a lot of expensive trial and error.” Bob K., Miami, FL Audiophile Alex Taylor writes: “If I was to make an overall comment on the audio quality of these tubes, I would say that the “blackness” or low noise level and neutrality is absolutely outstanding. This quaility is key to the fantastic sounstage and musicality as well as the transparency of these tubes. I believe that I would agree with you, that these are the best sounding tubes I have ever used in my PAS3!” Alexander Taylor, Detroit MI One of my good customers in Hong Kong writes: “Hi Sandy, Thank you again for bringing to eBay this legendary tube. I actually had heard of these early-run 12AX7LPS tubes before this, but I thought this was a legend and I certainly never thought any of these would be available. I replaced every 12AX7 in my McIntosh system and now I will purchase two more spare sets. I will need more than what is now on the eBay auction so please consider that when relisting…maybe you can list 30 at a time in the future?” Sammy Tong, Hong Kong Guitarist Bill Owens had this to say: “The 12AX7 LPS tubes arrived in 2 days. I installed them in our vintage Blackface amps and the clarity and sustain is awesome! You might be interested to know that these ARE different than the Sovtek 12AX7 LPS tubes you get today. I know because I have used the current 12AX7 LPS tubes and these are most definitely different! I can’t wait to start recording our new CD tracks with these tubes! This is like finding a supply of NOS PAF pickups that were hidden away for years!” Bill Owens, Los Angeles, CA KNOW YOUR SELLER! WE GUARANTEE ALL OF OUR TUBES ARE GENUINE, PLEASE CHECK OUR FEEDBACK. NOTE: Unlike some other sellers, ALL SHIPPING/INSURANCE/HANDLING charges for 2-3 day delivery service in the US as well as International Delivery options are stated up front in our auctions. This bid price is for one factory fresh BRAND NEW OLD STOCK BALANCED Sovtek 12AX7LPS TUBE. This tube is from a bulk-pack and will be supplied to you in a white box. Your bid price is for one tube. If you need more than one tube, just contact me an I may be able to supply Balanced and Matched sets. These tubes are brand new old stock (from 2002 and 2003 or 1999) and are supplied in white boxes. All that New Sensor, the Manufacturer and Importer states about these tubes is: ” S” Spiral filament for no hum with AC filaments.” Feel free to check my feedback and bid with confidence. Please email with any questions before bidding. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express through PayPal. We reserve the right to reject bids from those with negative or hidden feedback. If you fall into this category, please email before bidding! We also reserve the right to declare this auction null and void if eBay is not accessible during the last three hours of this auction. SHIPPING COSTS-DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL (Effective Jan. 27, 2013) SPECIAL NOTE ON SHIPPING COSTS: I ship within the US via Priority Mail. My actual out-of-pocket cost to ship even one tube within the US is $9.60 for Priority Mail. I then need to carefully pack the tubes, make out the shipping label and Delivery Confirmation form and wait in line at the post office to ship. Iq am certainly not making a profit on shipping these tubes. VERY FAST domestic shipping and insurance for the 1st tube, using USPS Priority Mail (2-3 Day Service) with Delivery Confirmation and extremely careful packing is $8.60 within the US including Alaska and Hawaii. Insured Priority Mail shipping to Puerto Rico is also $8.60. Extra tubes shipped together are only $1.00 extra per tube for shipping and insurance within the US. 98% of our items are shipped the same day or next business day after payment is received. One International Shipping Option would be USPS First Class Mail International (4-7 days transit time) Insurance is NOT available with First Class Mail International but the cost is $15.55 and this cost includes the additional time required to fill out the customs forms. Again, extras shipped internationally together in the same package via Airmail Letter Post cost only $1.00 extra for each tube. Although I have had excellent experience shipping via First Class Mail International, please understand that I cannot be responsible for the safe arrival of an uninsured package once it leaves my control. Our MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED International Shipping option is USPS Express Mail International at a cost of $52.00. Express Mail International is the ONLY international US Postal Service shipping method that can be reliably tracked and if desired we can request that the USPS email you and me with updates as this package travels to your country. Extra tubes shipped internationally in the same package via Express Mail International will be shipped without any additional shipping cost. IMPORTANT SAVINGS SAVINGS ON SHIPPING COSTS: If purchasing multiple items, please email me at the end of this auction and I will also combine shipping on mulitple items to help offset the cost of Express Mail International. ============================================================================================================================= IMPORTANT: I have a special favor to ask of our buyers: eBay has a new rating system called Detailed Seller Ratings or DSRs. It’s those little stars you click on when you leave feedback. Here is the problem, and therefore the favor that we ask: When you give 4 stars, it may seem like a great score, for instance 4 stars in Shipping Time means “Quickly” eBay, HOWEVER CONSIDERS 4 STARS A SUB PAR MARK!!! WE ARE ACTUALLY PENALIZED WITH HIGHER EbAY FEES IF WE GET 4 STAR RATINGS INSTEAD OF 5 STAR RATINGS! eBay standards require sellers to maintain 4.8 & above or be penalized with higher fees & more. And when rating us for “Shipping and Handling Charges” we ask that you please consider that we pay for insurance that does not show in the postage cost on your package, so please consider that we have paid this additional shipping cost that is not visible on the postage on your package. I strive for 5 star service by stating upfront my policies, my shipping rate & my shipping frequency. If you were pleased with this transaction, please respond with all 5 stars! If you are not, please let me know via email and I’ll work to make it that way. Please help us work to make eBay an even greater community. The more “5 Star” ratings we earn, the lower our eBay fees are, thus enabling us to offer our items at the lowest costs possible. We respectfully ask that you please take this into condideration when deciding if our services are excellent and how many “stars” to leave in your ratings. eBay does not consider 4 “Stars” good enough to grant us a discount on the eBay fees to us, only 5 “Stars” is good enough! Thanks! Sandy & Barbara ATTENTION: ITALY / ITALIAN BIDDERS: Due to NUMEROUS AND REPEATED problems with the speed of Italian Customs & Post Office, we cannot respond to questions about shipping via First Class International to Italy for SIX FULL WEEKS after the ship date. If your item is being shipped to Italy via First Class Mail International, please do not email asking about delivery until 6 weeks have passed from the date of mailing. We have had repeated problems with Customs in Italy and buyers in Italy then email us that they have not received their goods. Then…after many emails back and forth during several weeks, the item always shows up. This delay is not caused by us and even though we would love to help, there is truly NOTHING we can do about it. It is the Italian Postal System & Italian Customs that are causing these delays! Other sellers are simply refusing to sell to Italy. We do not want to do that, although we will be forced to if there are consistent problems. We sell many items to customers in Italy! We love our many friends and customers in Italy! You are WELCOME to bid on our items, but please understand and abide by these terms. If you need your item sooner than 6 weeks, please ask us for the cost to ship via Express Mail International which takes about 8-10 days to Italy. Thank you for your understanding! Please click on: “View Seller’s Other Auctions” for more interesting items. Please check my feedback and bid with confidence. Good luck & thank you for bidding. You may pay for this item on your Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express card at no extra charge through PayPal. If you use PayPal Instant Payment, I will get immediate payment and be able to ship without waiting for your payment to arrive. Thanks and Good Luck to all!
