Had an RCA PI tube go bad today. The wife loves to give me **** about buying tubes.

I said "see this is why i buy so many tubes" ... not sure if she's buying my story tho.

Tell her they are just like lipstick and run out every month or so. She'll get it.

I was just reading on a luthier's forum that a guy's wife turned to him at a club and said "I won't bother you anymore more about buying guitars (he had 15). Nancy told me her husband (in the band) has 49 trumpets!".

I've got 60 guitars...but 49 trumpets is just...INSANITY! WTF!

Once when I was on a pretty run of purchases, the wife exasperated "another one, how much was that?"

I asked her if she could tell the difference between a $25 guitar and a $25,000 guitar. She paused, said "good point" and walked away.

:D

You can always find a good wife, but you can't always find good tubes.

There is a website that will, for a fee, duplicate a receipt to reflect any purchase price that you want it to. $5K Les Paul? No problem, change it to $350 and tell the wife it's a Chibson.
The only problem is that it's my wife who told me about it ...

I swapped a couple Amperex Holland that test as new & broke out my OCD pedal, haven't used it in a while, what a great pedal.

Just ask the wife how many pairs of shoes she owns?

Nice tubes.....I love NOS stuff. I have 5-6 great NOS 12AX7's and my latest purchase was a set of Siemens EL34's from KCA NOS Tubes. Unfortunately they are too hot for my DSL 40c and they won't bias up. I'm not spending any $$ modding this amp. I may sell them or just wait till I get a better amp.

On the planet where I come from 49 trumpets is considered a waste of brass. They're not even suitable for reloading.
