Where do you guys buy replacement tubes?
THE PARTS CONNECTION is a good source.Andy at Vinyage is by far a better choice than some of the other above far to mentioned choices.

High on Thier List, But Low on Yours
The Reference 3M DeCappo.Everytime i listen to it it makes me wonder what the deal is on it. 
Running bi-wire cables backwards OK?
