WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?
Much of the time I suspect that the "hate" is directed more towards the person posting about the HE gear and not the gear itself (especially some repetitive posters with a single brand, or two, that they relentlessly post about). Then there are t...

Once there was a snail who was tired of being slow. He went out and bought a really fast sports car and had the dealer paint a big "S" on each side of it. Whenever someone saw him zooming past in his new car, they would say, "Hey, look at that S-...

Can you touch the tubes?

Can you touch the tubes?
Not a problem for HiFi vacuum tubes, though it's best to only touch/move tubes that have cooled down (not always doable with a musical instrument/PA amp in use/demand). https://i.discogs.com/TU_M5i6i4CvCz7BKbVTOHYKhqR9UhAHf8DWxwpXnbvA/rs:fit/g:sm...

‘Live from Daryl’s House’ Show Returns After Five-Year Hiatus
