I wish I understood the appeal of tubes...but I really just don’t get it
@livinon2wheels , I think it might be kind of like when I was in the Air Force almost 50 years ago, there were a bunch of us that liked big bore high reving Japanese 4 cylinder bikes, and then there were a bunch of guys that liked to shake around on their leaky Harleys.
If I was going to ride a bike again at this stage of my life, it would be a shaker, and 30 years ago when I got interested in "better end" audio it was tubes that grabbed me.
