Good luck finding tubes right now...

Do you bungie-cord it to a cinder block to keep it from sliding back on the table when you go to plug in?

I use 2.

^^^ You two should be ashamed of yourselves for taking a perfectly good tube snob thread and ruining it with all this 1s and 0s crap!

I don't feel in the least bit bad. I love all.

Two bungie cords? It will sound better with three.

I can't believe you didn't recommend the proper toan bungee cords . . .

-he even loves Crocs... Mincer has life and balance all figured out.


Maybe Clint just needs a pair of Crocs.

Just got this year's 'replacement Crocs' in the mail.

Yeah I have to source ECC83 from Aliexpress and it costs like the price of a distortion pedal a piece. Uli Behringer should acquire Fractal and make it affordable for the masses.

The Chinese tubes are no great loss really. Plenty of tubes available.
And anybody should only need power tubes once every 5 years at the earliest.
Good power tubes properly biased should last 5000 hours or more.
TAD had the best Chinese tubes because they tested & matched.
Don't know what TAD is doing now tho.

I was curious what tube set (pre and power) you have settled-on for your 3-channel dual rectifier. (?)

Sovtek 6L6WXT+ for power & NOS Amperex in da Pre.

There is a shortage at most outlets, I’m fortunate to have bought many sets of EL34, 6L6, 5881, 12AX7 Tung-Sol, Ruby, Mallard, JJ, EH and more, then I have NOS RCA, Philips, Telefunken etc. Each time I purchased tubes, I would buy two sets so I end up with about 30 sets, primarily for Marshall, Bogner, Soldano, Suhr, Friedman including Mesa, Fender. “I’m covered”…..

I think I still have a pair of Carvin branded 6L6's made by Telefunken in West Germany.
And some National labeled 12AX7's.
I'm good.

Telefunken are probably my favs

[beaubrummels]

I'm good for a little while. I'm not tube rolling or burning up stuff needing backups. I just have what I need to play around with, and some replacements that need to go in when I get around to it.

^^^ More glass laying around than Whitney Houston in her prime!

Mine too. I’m also a fan of the NOS Mullard and RCA long black plate.
