Seal it in my heart and mind.  Johnny Cash performing before me on solo guitar.  Is he talking about the fuse?  🙏Les Mis soundtrack now. Meh.  Never my favorite recording  but doing fine.

Things are sounding really good. Some Neil Young Harvest Moon, Hair original Broadway soundtrack (one of my favorite bass guitar rock performances).   Now some opera on RCA Red Seal.  Awesome.   Squeezebox touch on random play so getting a nice ra...

Dave it would take me a long time to put 75 to a hundred hours of burn in time on the fuse.   I typically get in a few hours a week of listening.   I do not leave the arc tube preamp on when not listening to save life of tubes.    I'll do the best...
