| Jadis musical value? Audiofeil, that has got to be one of your more ingenius and enlightening posts (IMHO). | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? Well Brian congrats - that is what it is all about. I take it that none of your children or pets were injured, and your house didn't catch on fire? Thank heavens for that bit of luck given that you were in the presence of not just one but TWO tube... | |
