IMHO, the "DR" really is a major improvement and well worth the investment. Plus they last a very long time.
I totaly agree with you, but you have to find tubes older than 1980, and it is very difficult...

I have ordered the cryo-treated EH Gold Pins from the recommended source, and will try and search out the proper DR versions. It always pays to have backups! :^)
Happy Holidays, and Thanks!

Jim

Willy, there are only two sellers I trust to sell genuine, matched DR's being The Parts Connexion (PCX) and The Tube Store. PCX is normally cheaper, but that is a moot point as both are out of stock. If you're very keen, i'd send an email to Chris at PCX to enquire if he may be getting stock in future. But if stock does becomes available, expect a price hike

I recently purchased a pair of matched 1979 vintage 6H30-DR for my LS-26. They appear, using all recommended indicators, to be genuine. They sound great. I'm very happy with them.

It appears the mods have edited out where I bought them. Strange considering other vendors are identified here.
