to paraphrase groucho marx...'if we were any closer to the music, we'd be in back of it.' vacuum tubes are slowly headed down death valley from the moment they are first used. at 100 hours they must stay at a bed and breakfast for a while. .....when you consider that many hi-hi-hi end companies only sell a few hundred(if that) 'new' of any given model worldwide, the second and third sales-go-rounds on audiogon alone is unbelievable.....my all time favorite is the number of dealers info in stereophile. its always 5 to 15.
Have you noticed that
* Items that are �priced to sell� usually aren�t?
* Almost all used tubes have �about 100 hours� on them?
* About every other ad on Audiogon is for Tyler or Jolida?
* Some people sell what they claim to �love�?
* Almost everyone who bought a Musical Fidelity X-10V3 ends up selling it?
