| Tube Shelf Life Believe it or not tube shelf life can be as high as 100 years...that is not a typo! I would keep them in their original boxes, in a cool place where they are not subjected to possible bumping, banging, or droping. The 'silver cap' inside the top o... | |
| Classic Record RCA 45 rpm reissues - Which? In my humble opinion Classic Records and their 200gram recipe for record pressings is the current best in the business.
