845 tubes. New not old stock

@facten 

The track is Improvisation by Ron Tutt. The disc is The Sheffield Drum Record /The Sheffield Track Record. It is a very good recording.

Happy listening!

I have Elrogs I bought about 4 months ago and I love them too, but they sound better in my Thoress mono blocks than they do in the Melody 845 integrated I also own.  Not bad in the Melody, but I think I actually prefer the regular 845a's in that--the Elrogs and Shuguang 845bs kind of sound a little too forward to me in the Melody.

The Elrogs are the best sounding 845s I own (including the Melody branded ones) in my Thoress by a good margin.  Very, very nuanced relatively speaking, and the other 3 sets all sound very good already.  Better microdynamics and finesse, but still ballsy when they need to be.  I suppose they should be at $1800 a pair or whatever they cost.

I, of course, hope they last.  I probably only have 150 hours on them so far.

I’m using a full set (including driver) of these Sino 845 tubes in my Triode Corp TRX-M845 amps. https://www.tubedepot.com/products/sino-845-power-vacuum-tube

They sound great and are a favorite of the Viva amp guys. Very inexpensive considering the quality.
