Lansche plasma guy Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Item: Silvertone / Radiotron RCA 2a3 Mono plate Tubes Matched Pair (1930's Rare). Test as newLocation:MelbournePrice: $750 ONOItem Condition: Test full strength on an AVO MK-IVReason for selling: Business OpportunityPayment Method: Pickup - Cash, COD OnlyExtra Info: Tested as new and too paranoid to use them because they are rare and valuable (i've been using my Chinese generic 2a3's and occasionally the Sophia Mesh plates and RCA 2a3 Bi plates which are in other listings. They've been in my 2a3 headphone amp maybe an hour or two maximum. They are by far the best sounding 2a3's i've ever heard. They sound more like a really powerful pair of Globe 45's but with a bigger soundstage and less grain than any of those tubes i'm familiar with. If you want the best 2a3's available these are arguably it. Pictures: Edited February 20, 2017 by Lansche plasma guy Spelling mistakes due to autocorrect (Radiation instead of Radiotron etc).

ZOOTYtooty Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Oh Mama, the holy grail of 2A3's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lansche plasma guy Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Thanks Zootytooty. They sound amazing but like a lot of my more valuable tubes they are worth way too much for me to use. When i was looking for a backup pair after hearing these i almost died when i saw some people wanted $1200 dollars for them and you don't even know what condition they are in. They sound totally different to any other 2a3 tube i've heard. LPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tntman Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 @Lansche plasma guy I tried sending you a PM but was unable to, I think your mailbox is full! Are you willing to send these up to Sydney? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lansche plasma guy Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Sorry tntman, just got home a short while ago and i've had so many messages for things i've been selling that the inbox keeps filling up. Deleted some to make more space. These tubes i'm pretty sure are sold and being collected tomorrow. I'll let you know if the sale falls through but there are others in line also. Thank you, LPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
