Don't sell your tube amps


Although this was an article in a guitar Magazine, I thought it might interest those who own stereo tube equipment:

I was going to sell my pre and mono amps that were displaced during my last upgrade.   After a few low ball offers I decided to do a second system.    I'm ordering a pair of speakers this week.   Inevitably I would have had sellers remorse anyway.

Fortunately my amp uses driver tubes that are not too popular and easy to obtain.  I have about 15 different NOS pairs on deck.   A dozen or so NOS 5r4gy  Rectifiers,  and a back up pair of WE 300b.  

I have 3 sets of tubes for my Quicksilvers so I should be set for a while. 

I also have no plans to sell my 300b or Mid Monos.     

Long live tubes !!!!    Well , the amps they are in anyway.    Tubes themselves have a finite life , but that's OK so do I .    

Glad I hung onto my Mid Monos ... they are perfectly suited to drive my new Omega Super Alnico Monitors that I will receive in a few months.
