How does this happin?

So a short time back I posted that I'd found some really good tubes from Russia.
I said they were the best yet! Well today I recieved another set that sound even better!
They are more revealing than any i've heard. There's a lot more air and detail.
Also the plates in these tubes are plated with a crome like finish(even a slight gold tint).

I have a Little Pinkie PSU for both my V2 and my V3. Will I need them in order to use these tubes, or can I use these tubes with the regular wall wart?

Hit the buy it now button in the link Benny points to.... ask questions later. Best used with Little Pinkie or a PSU with a supply >1500mA I , personally, wouldn't run them with the stock 500mA wart YMMV

The shiny version you are looking at is commonly known as a "chrome plate". Nickle plated from memory. Just be aware that they may not be plated at all.
Siemens & Mazda (France) are the most famous of the chrome plate lineup

Yep that's a chrome plate, the boxed section looks uncoated as well.

Thats for sure, I have never been into the Telefunken sound & look at the price of those babies
