Not that specs can't be of good use in making a selection, just that they can b... | |
| Impedance mis-match? If you don't have the means to demo this setup first, I would pass. Most products like this adhere to a 75 ohm standard. I would choose something other than the V-link. Keep in mind, though, I'm not an expert on this. 50 ohms may be fine. I would ... | |

| need tube tester in tampabay area If you're willing to drive to Sarasota, I know who has one. VAC moved there a few years ago. I know they sell tubes and have a tube tester, but I don't know if they will let you test tubes that you didn't get from them. You would have to ask. Unle... | |
