I'm looking for a source to get a pair of 3-500 ZG tubes, these must be a matched pair.
I am not finding very many locations that are offering a match pair.
Trying to find a new MP for under $300.
P.S. These are triodes and normally used as grounded grid amps. If I can find a pair that cheap, even if they are not the graphite one's "G". I can settle with that.
Thanks.
Ok, $330/pair and I don't know the Taylor brand but it's the ZG:
Buy a bunch and match them yourself?
Ah, not really. We do have them at work for an old audio system how ever, none of them have been matched, various brands and dates. Some of which are used. That old system has bias control for each tube used. I would be glad to grab a couple of them for the amp that requires those how ever, this amp (RF) does not have in its design, a way to balance the bias.. Since this is for one of my friends, he wants a matched pair (NEW).
I suppose if we were to simply buy 2 tubes of the same date and vender they'd most likely be close enough. But that would be a gamble, wouldn't you say?
I can't beleive that you are stupid enough to post this. You obviously don't know what you are doing.
