AMPEREX USN-CEP 6922's LARGE O GETTERS are the most sought after tubes for a reason.........the sound. These deliver absolute heavenly bliss!!!
So..... here it is......this is the tube you have been looking for! This is an AMPEREX USN-CEP PREMIUM QUALITY LARGE O GETTER 6922, MADE FOR THE UNITED STATE NAVY'S MOST CRITICAL EQUIPMENT.
A perfect SINGLE tests NOS and sound perfect (tested by me). For audiophiles these tubes are the
sweetest sounding tubes made. Once they are gone I have NO MORE. You
may never see tubes like this again. I have only ever seen a few in all
my years.
Here's what tube guru Brent Jesse says concerning these tubes: "This is probably the ultra 6DJ8 type tube commonly available. It has
all of the features of the 7308, but the triode sections are also
matched to each other, and the tubes all fit within very tight
specifications. Therefore, any 7308 should match any other 7308 within
the same brand. The Amperex versions were again made in New York,
complete with gold pins, and often have a number etched into the side of
the glass. Amperex made these for industry as well as the military.
The Amperex versions have the PQ label, the military type usually is
labeled "USN-CEP", but I have seen versions made for Stromberg-Carlson
and Hewlett-Packard, with white ink labels. These all had the numbers
etched into the glass, and all are the same tube. The USA made military
white label types have been rated "Best of All", over other 7308, 6922
and even Cca tubes, in several well-documented 6922/7308/Cca listening
tests. Therefore this particular type is becoming scarce and prices are
rising. There were a few of these made in Holland, but most were made
in the USA, therefore the Holland tubes are RARE and usually command a
higher price. The Holland PQ versions have the PQ with stars on either
side of the letters, and the words "Premium Quality", where the USA
types have the PQ inside of a shield logo. " - http://www.audiotubes.com/6dj8.htm
Rated "Best of All" in 7308/6922 and Cca listening tests! Maybe that is why they are getting so scarce !!!!
On my tester a B&K 747 tester: Below 55 = BAD 55-66 = ?65 -100
= Good 100-120+ = NOS
I PERSONALLY purchase, clean, identify, test, and stand behind every tube on this site. I have a small company. You will deal with me personally.
I want to see you happy with your purchase. I will never sell a tube that is below standard……I destroy those tubes. I will not sell a tube that I feel will not last or has been abused.
I have sold many tubes here on Ebay, and all my customers have been completely satisfied. I will work with you in good faith if there are any problems, or if you are unsatisfied in any way.
I want your business now and in the future, so I assume you are the boss, and I am the employee.
All tubes are tested for shorts, continuity, and emissions.
International buyers please DO NOT pay until we can invoice you for the proper shipping and handling. I can't ship these internationally without tracking per paypal rules. That cost is reflected in the handling cost.
Domestic buyers I always ship UPSP first class small package no matter what it says in the listing.
I prefer PayPal.
ALL CUSTOMERS PLEASE
READ ALL NOTES BEFORE BUYING FROM ME !!
1. RETURNS: It is my highest desire that you are
completely satisfied with your purchase from me. I will bend over backwards to
make sure that you are a happy customer.
If anything you buy from me is less than satisfactory,
message me BEFORE you either open a case or hit the “item not as described”
button.
If you want a return for any reason, I will give you back
100% of your purchase and any shipping you paid.
2.PLEASE NOTE: Tube silkscreen
(lettering on the tubes) is VERY fragile. It can be wiped off and destroyed
VERY easily. If you wipe off the silkscreen while handling the tube you
diminish their value by up to 70%. DO NOT handle the tubes or hold them from
the cylinder. ALWAYS hold them from the ENDS. If you are returning tubes and
they are not in the same condition cosmetically I cannot give you a full
refund. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
3. UNLESS YOU MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH US BEFORE YOU
PURCHASE, YOU MUST PAY FOR ITEMS PURCHASED WITHIN 2 DAYS OR A CASE WILL BE
OPENED FOR AN UNPAID ITEM!!!
4.Please
note: The numbers given for gm are what I see on my tester. I DO NOT guarantee
that you will see those numbers on your tester. I only guarantee that these
tubes will test good, with no shorts, or gas, on a decent calibrated tester. I
don't guarantee or imply anything else.
5.
VERY IMPORTANT!!! Vintage tube testers almost always,
due to age, have VERY LOW HEATER VOLTAGES!!!
Every tester I have ever bought is below 6 volts when selecting 6.3 volts.
They average 5.8 volts. The voltage NEEDS to be 6.3 and 12.6. You can calibrate
a vintage tube tester all you want. If the heater voltage is not right, you
will NEVER get the right gm value. I have customers complain that their tubes
are not the same as what I see on my tester. They say they have a calibrated
tube tester. I have 40 tube testers. On all of them I have an outside regulated
DC power supply that feeds the tube tester the correct heater voltage.
International
customers note:
1. Please wait for
us to invoice you for the correct amount. If you have purchased more than one
item and the total exceeds 100.00 USD. We have to ship those items USPS
priority mail. The cost of shipping for items over 100.00 is 39.95. That is the
exact shipping cost for an international priority box.
2.Under no
circumstances will we state on a US customs a declared value of less than the
sale price. This is an honesty issue. We are honest with everyone to the best
of our ability to do so. We want you to trust that what we say is true. There
cannot be that trust, if we make false statements knowingly to anyone. If your
country has tariffs/taxes so high that they cause large numbers of normally
honest folks to make false statements, we urge you to work for change of those
laws.
3 International buyers if you bought more than one item and
want combined shipping it will ship in 2 days.
4. And all the Angels sang because the heavenly music was
playing and it was turned all the way up.
