Title: Price of 6DN7's going up?
Post by: Nathan on May 12, 2016, 09:42:11 AM

Is it just me or have these tubes really gotten costlier in the last year?

Last year I bought two NOS GE's for $16. Now you would be lucky to find a pair under $30

Its been a while since i bought any, but as you say there were all around $6 from memory.

6FJ7's are still really cheap if you fancy building an adapter. http://bottlehead.com/smf/index.php?topic=5811 (http://bottlehead.com/smf/index.php?topic=5811)

The price has indeed gone up, but since the SEX amp has been discontinued, I would expect prices to drop in a year or two as the demand subsides to a more reasonable level.
