My wife gives me grief about buying tubes ...

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!".

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.

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 ...

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.

Good wives and good tubes can both be hard to find.

FIFY

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