| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? I really can’t say how the new Telefunkens compare to the NOS, but I do know that the NOS made a major difference in my system. I paid about a hundred or so apiece for them at Brent Jesse, a really good tube purveyor. Generally less expensive th... | |
