| "Matching" of dual triode tubes - how close? 6SN7s are dual triode small signal (preamp) tubes. My reply and the information from the Upscale Audio webpage applies to 6SN7s used in a preamp. | |
| "Matching" of dual triode tubes - how close? I’ll answer so that maybe someone who really know what they’re talking about will correct me.

| MoFi Dire Straights ‘Love Over Gold’ lp This is a not uncommon situation with Mofi and AP. All I can suggest is to follow the saga on the Steve Hoffman forums where you can find others to commiserate with. | |
| The best music in 2019 spiritofradio, It's a good one. Still one of the best of 2019, IMHO. | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? Well the problem could be that too often people make posts like yours, miller. Instead of posting something in a positive way that makes other people want to experience what you're talking about, you make a negative post that accuses people who h... | |
