| Old tubes vs New tubes The two tube amps I have the most experience with are the Aronov LS960I and Melody 880. Both are about 50-60 Wpc. Have run a lot of KT88s in both, and 6550 as well in the Aronov which can run both. Have opened up and modded both amps, most extensi... | |

| Can one ever be "done" in this hobby? Setup or change of set up maybe just my next big thing for now at least. So certain were you. Go back and closer you must look. Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose. | |
