| NOS tubes for Sonic Frontiers Line 1 Well here I am again. I bought me a matched pair of new NOS Early 60s Amperex 7308 PQ USA tubes. The first pair I received early this week. Turns out after just a few hours of time on them, one of the tubes became noisy, Microphonic. I bought them... | |

| "Bedini Ultra Clarifier", does it really work?? Theo, the lit says to clean both sides of the CD each time you play it, but I don't.

| NOS tubes for Sonic Frontiers Line 1 Well I am now looking at an early 60s matched pair of Siemens E188CC 7308 gold pin NOS tubes. I want to see if I like a warmer sound. Any opinions? This tube rolling could become addictive. Have any of you experimented with the placement of tube d... | |
