| Best short-lived band? Worth mentioning, I thought...Rockpile | |
| Tung-Sol 6550 - Current Issue Hello, CUH - Not sure this will illuminate anything for you...perhaps more by way of commiseration. I have a JoLida 502B. It came with stock Sovtek 6550s that ran without problem for almost 6 years. They seemed bullet proof. I went to JJ/Tesla KT8... | |

| Intergrated amp for Totem Sttaf Rumadian - You wrote, "I would strongly advise against the Jolida/Sttaf combo. It's flat out a nasty." Would you mind being more specific? | |
