Embarrassing Tube Story

For tube geeks only this might be amusing. To most it’ll be pathetic.

I just looked inside a box of tubes I had removed from my preamp when I first got into tube gear a few years ago. I assumed they were junk. I’ve been using mostly sovteks since. Last night I went through the box for the first time after I originally put it away and inside I find a matched quad of RCA NOS brown base 5692’s and a matched pair of RCA NOS red based 6sn7’s. (drum in the background goes ‘ba-dum, bum.)

Thank you, thank you very much.
