I remember having a record player as a kid. It had a cover that clipped on to it and the speaker was built into the unit. I would play records for hours on that thing and I never remember being disappointed with the music coming out that tiny litt... 
Too Many Tubes?
Sounds like you are paying to much attention to your tubes and not enough to the music. If you are just going to continue to analyze and compare the sound characteristics of each tube over and over, you can't be enjoying the music and you are goin...

Are you too old to be an audiophile?
What does this mean? I am not old and I have my hearing, but I am offened for the older people. I saw a program where a 76 year old guy made it to the top of Everest. What's so special about an audiophile? What's the thinking here, that when you'r... 
Are you too old to be an audiophile?
