Does anyone have experience to relate with the reissued Telefunken Black Diamond tubes?
@bikeboy52 , I sort of remember reading here that Tube Depot’s matching might be questionable.   And they do say in their email that they sell in matched quads, so I guess if I want a couple of sextets I’ll have to call them.  I also went to Viva’...

Movie/film suggestions.

Watched on Prime recently  @slaw , I found it on Tubi.  I watched about the first five minutes, and that was enough to be able to tell that it should be dark and funny.  My kind of movie.  I may stay up late tonight and watch it, but if not ton...
