Please comment on the brand and the construction of the black plates and twin square getter.

Hi NicKC,

Sorry, I don't know anything about these, but at the price, I'd be willing to try.
I notice you are in the European time zone - would you tell us your source?

Cheers,

Hi Nick,

Don't you mean Valve Art 2A3?

They have been around for a long time..and I believe they are not bad at all..I have seen Valve Art 300b and construction and sound was good.

Most important thing is..(Thanks Frank) buying them from a reputable dealer...so that in the event of something being wrong with the tubes you can get them replaced...!

Cheers,
Bas
