Whats on your turntable tonight?

@noromance 

Been keeping my eyes out for possible tube deals, and just saw some Dynaco/Telefunken smooth plate 12ax7’s for a very decent price.

if your read this, would love to know your thoughts on these. Listed on US Audio Mart, and as links aren’t allowed, search “Telefunken 12AX7/ECC83 quad (4) tubes smooth plate test strong on Hickok 800 transconductance tester” 

Thanks in advance, or anyone else who might have knowledge of these.

@bkeske Go for it. I have Dynaco smooth plates in a Croft.

@noromance 

Seriously? Did you look at them? You know a lot more than I do about these tubes, and have been looking for some smooth plates per your suggestion. Just wasn’t sure about the Dynaco/Telefunken’s and didn’t want to overspend if they are not worth it. 

Thanks!

Sure. They are Telefunkens just rebranded for Dynaco. I pulled mine from a Dyna tuner years ago and they're still going strong.
