SET Shootout China VS The USA


2A3 SET from china arrives any day now.

The tech who loaned me his UX250 (aka 50 Tube) amp, with a  12AU7 in front + a  6BH7 (??) , has incredible pure Cobalt out trans. ($1k+ each back in 2000, now no longer in production). . he will help me set up the  2A3. 

Has a  AX+AU my 2 fav front tubes anda   quad of 2A3's. 

My speakers are pure neutrality, no coloration, no distortion,. 

So whatever amp/ source you plug in, will register the nuances inherent in the circuit.

Will be very interesting. 

USA has pure cobalt out trans which gives the edge in power, but the china 2A3 has a 2 tubes per channel.

Gonna be interesting and will post a  YT upload with comments,

AFTER TESTING IS COMPLETEED.

Hand on to your horses at the OK Corral. 

Grab a  beer at the saloon, 

sundown shootout at the edge of town.

larryi,

Agreed. Anything else would have been better than what the world witnessed.

At least, Lewis Hamilton was knighted by the Royals. 

A class act all the way.

Toto was wrong for asking Masi not to send out a safety car when Latifi crashed but Christian was screaming at Masi to let the lapped cars pass the safety car. The very same cars that Lewis had to pass to get that 12 second lead. Past races always finished in the order they were in prior to a crash with the lead driver put at a disadvantage from allowing all the trailing cars to close any gaps.

If the race ended on a safety car, so be it. Done all the time, until now. Look at Max winning that race in the pouring rain with only 2 laps completed and getting points for it. That was a joke.

Masi changed his decision after being screamed at by Red Bull to let the lapped cars pass out of the way letting Max drag race Lewis on much fresher tires without the 12 second lead Lewis had before the crash. 

Max's teammate, Perez, apologized to Hamilton. Russell said it was unacceptable. Riccardo said it was a f*cked up thing to do. Other drivers said it was done for TV to make it more exciting and likening it to NASCAR (which is the ultimate insult).

From now on, no one can talk directly to the Race Control but to an intermediary instead, who will relay the gist of the complaint to Masi, who's been doing some odd things all season. Not the way to run a race.

@jerryg123 , I miss him too. Right now I'm still fuming over the treatment Lewis Hamilton ( a big Senna fan himself) got at the final F1 race. That was a hollow and illegitimate victory for Verstappen and Masi has some explaining to do. 

All the best,

i am a Robot carving a line like Senna, in my mind.

A very good robot, indeed.

I am a 1961 Robot in a Scaglietti works body.

Good robot.
