NOS tubes For my Rhea

What I’m referring to when I say EI are pre-war tubes made in Yugoslavia. The factory was founded in the 50’s using Telefunken equipment. I find that they have more body than Tele’s but are slightly less transparent. The combination of EI’s and Tele’s balances body with transparency nicely and should work well with your Lyra. The friend that I sold my Rhea to auditioned it using a Dynavector 17D2. That tube combination also worked well with my ZYX Airy3. The other added benefit of the EI’s that they are reasonably priced.

RWD, forgot to say in may last post that I love your speakers. I've only head them once but I've never forgot it. When I get a bigger room, a set of those are in my future.

Thank you for you response and compliment of my speakers. I know that they are quite old but I would have to spend 30K-60K to get a replacement (I think?).

Hi all again! Before I call Andy at Vintage Tube (I suspect he is very knowledgeable but expensive) has anyone bought tubes for the Rhea (or anything else) from Upscale Audio???

Thanks all!

Don't overlook Brent Jessee at http://www.audiotubes.com/ if NOS is what you're after.

All the best,
