| What are some good things to do when going to an audition This is not something I can agree with. I said: Don't audition anything you are not willing to purchase. Not the best choice of words, please allow me to re-phrase/explain: I meant price range. With all due respect -- still disagree. Listeni... | |
| Tube amps - what 3 things… No more noisy tubes, better bass extension and tone with SS No more headaches getting good vintage tubes, no more need for a finicky vintage tube tester, no wasting time tube "rolling", no more worries about Russian supply or Chinese garbage, etc... | |
