| Luxman L-509x --- Universal Remote Code I doubt you'll find anything new that's less expensive. Branded remotes use a wide variety of codes so that they are unique to their products and their use doesn't overlap if you have multiple brands of components. The best alternative if price is... | |

| Have a tube that gets really bright when turned on and then dims quickly I have a pair of Telefunken ECC81 tubes that test the same and have the same construction. One flashes brightly on startup and the other not at all. | |
