Andy is a great guy, and perhaps a litte eccentric, but, like you said, you get the best from him, and it's the real deal. Can't ask for more than that, I suppose. Tvad, true he said your Herleen Hollands couldn't be real, but I bethcha if he told you they were fake, after you gave him the scoop, you'd believe him. Right? He's a great guy to know, and like all of us ('cept for me of course) have to be taken with a grain of salt. Getting back to this question I'm trying to get answered, about tube construction. Apparently there was something going on 40 years ago that we just cannot duplicate. I know Andy thinks so, and that's enough for me. Speaking of Andy, he be da man I should ask this question. I'll let you know if I can possibly explain his explanation...
Tube question
I'm new to tubes, but there is a couple of things (well more than a couple, but for now): Why, with all of our modern technology, is it that we cannot make a tube with the sound quality of the ones in the late 50s to early 70s. What was it about that time, that we cannot seem to duplicate that quality today. I never, when hearing the scoop about great tubes, hear any new tube manufacturers being mentioned. Are there Chinese, Russian, American or the like, companies making very high quality sounding and constructed tubes? thanks in advance. warren

come on, you know what I mean..send it to him, over the phone, he be the man you'd trust to give you the scoop, right? All I'm saying (I'm agreeing with you through the back door) it's great to have a tube guru to validate the authenticity of a tube. The sound of you'll get out of that tube? There are no tympanics I trust more than my own. |
