Don't sell your tube amps


Although this was an article in a guitar Magazine, I thought it might interest those who own stereo tube equipment:

My tube amps are going strong and will remain for the foreseeable future.   I've even acquired a couple more in recent years, some as future projects, some working fine now.  Fortunately, I managed to re-tube everything currently in my system, all the completed projects, and stocked up for the future projects prior to Russia invading Ukraine.  The cost seemed high at the time, but seems mighty attractive compared to what I'm seeing now.  

Tube amplifier are on borrowed time due to a different threat. Its now possible to build solid state amps that are just as smooth in the mids and highs with no glare and the same sense of musical involvement.

It seems as though I've heard this statement before.... 😉
