| Why so many tubes? What do you mean you dont hear it like this in a live environment? This makes no sense. I would think you would like the most true to the source system to reproduce, accurately, the way the recording of the live event sounds. | |
| GE 6L6GC bs RCA I agree that new production tubes are getting better, but old stock tubes still sound better in my experience. This is particularly true of preamp tubes. | |

| Demos - To Charge a Fee or to Not Charge a Fee? I support charging a fee for a home demo. In this case the dealer should deliver the product and set it up. The fee is refundable if you buy the component. Problem is that you must charge a fee that may, by some standards, be considerable. | |
