Margules gear??

@goodlistening64 ,

You anywhere near Kutztown?

@thecarpathian 

I am. Are you going to the Radio show? I will be there on Saturday, May 9th.

I have not been to this event before, and I don't really need any more tubes, but I am hoping the prices are less than what I had paid previously.

@goodlistening64 ,

I didn’t know that show existed until recently. Sounds like a great thing to do!

Unfortunately, I can’t go. I’m in Connecticut working. Pick up a pair of Amperex 7316pq's for me.😃

My wife and I make the trip to Kutztown for the terrific area wineries and Amish stuff. Have dinner at Folino’s  vineyards. Wonderful old world Italian fare. Their wines are a bit on the dry side if you partake. For sweeter wines Clover Hill winery is the ticket. Both in Kutztown.

I thought they are made from Greece. They sound terrific.

You are thinking of Tsakaridis Devices. Another company turning out great sounding tube gear.

@thecarpathian 

I didn't know it existed either until I stumbled across it online somehow. But I was not readily buying tubes until the past year either. I have gone there for antique and postcard shows over the years. 

I had no idea they had good wine there, although wineries have popped up considerably in the past couple of years here in PA, because, I think, the assumption is that this area will be much more friendly to growing grapes in the future - ala the United Kingdom becoming the next France when it comes to wine.

I am a beer drinker, of which there are a stunning amounts of great beer to be had here locally. My wife quit drinking a couple of years ago and for that reason, I do not drink as much. 

Amperex sound great in my system but I have settled on long black plate, square getter RCA's. Amperex is a tad bright while RCA is about the same but doesn't mean I have to turn the volume down a couple notches because of it.

The Amish. Ha-ha. Everybody is entranced by the simple folk. Bet you bought some unnecessarily trinkets on your trip, surely it was your wife's idea...that and the wine.
