Audio Note 211 Moly Plate tube = AN-4242E

Two sets of expensive tubes failing before the day was out...you bet I was angry, lol.
Yes, understandable. But still? The company which made them is defunct since 9 years, the CEO and owner of that company, who was responsible for that, died more than 5 years ago.
But I intentionally put a twinky smiley at the end of the sentence.
 
Sure Thomas. I didn't know that about the Elrog founder.
 
I'm now down to 5 Amperex brass based 211s that measure extremely well, from 7.

Plus the heater supply on one 211 tube on one of my monos is down.

Must fix. Been lazy about it but I am bored with my Luxman M-800a's sound and one of my Accuphase M-60s is also not working.

I asked Kevin Fiske about the AN molys when he got a pair for his AN 211s. He was very keen on them a few years ago. But when I spoke to him about them in February he was adamant I would not like them. Strange.

Also Thomas thanks for your quote for a quad of yours at Munich but I have a big 211 collection and just decided it against it.
