Has anyone else received theirs from Valve Tubes in the UK? It has been almost two weeks since I've ordered mine and Royal Mail hasn't updated at all. The owner of VT says he only has the same tracking as me.

Me too. When I track with Royal Mail, it just gives me info that it was received by them. Then it says "last updated" for today. So I think it's en route...just want more info.

Woohoo...just arrived...they're in the mic and burning in. My first impression is that they're richer in the mids and a little quieter...but that was from them being in the mic for 10 minutes. Check out the "MK-U47 first impressions" thread for more info on the RCA 408's...

Great JK. I wonder if Cat5 has his ? Another good example of the suburb Cdn postal system. Mine were in Toronto a week ago; its a 6 hour drive and you've got yours in Nashville and I am still waiting; maybe Monday |

John,
How many RCA 408s did you get? I'm curious how consistent these are. It literally takes a pile of the Phillips or WE brand to find 2 useable tubes. That's if you are lucky.
I'm considering the RCAs.
Thanks,
Scott

Check out the "MK-U47 first impressions" thread for more info on the RCA 408's... Where did you buy those John? I'd be interested in buying a spare pair. I know Dan has had fits getting quiet tubes, and he's still struggling with it. Once Dan got the resistor sorted in mine, it was quiet, but I think I lucked out on the tubes I have in mine. Dan mentioned that it's the quietest MK47 he's built. But still...I'd like to get another pair for safety - cause I'm keeping this one a looooong time. |
