Where do you guys buy replacement tubes?
here the last pickup I can grind them for is 4PM. We are at the top of the street right below the entrance to Mt. Baldy. I know they pick up at the larger drop off points near Ontario Airport by 5PM.....Don't forget we lose a couple hours on you N...

No need to worry about it being to busy if there is something you need...that's not where it's at. The delays are not happening much anymore except for odd stuff. The things we do every day go out the door pretty quick. I just made an agreement to...

P.S. George.....that was not meant to say that you are not a nice guy or anything like that. I was speaking in general terms when I said "people I enjoy". I've read some of your comments and you appear to be a dedicated audiophile. Sorry if I put ... 
Where do you guys buy replacement tubes?
avgeorge, I have no idea what you are talking about...unless you are the guy that a few months ago wanted to bring in his amps, have me install a "few different types" of power tubes, bias them, hook them up to speakers in my sound room so you cou... 
Where do you guys buy replacement tubes?
I hope I don't give the wrong impression. If you call a typical tube store, the owner, let alone anyone else, will not talk to you about what will sound best. Ther are a couple botique dealers that will, but they don't have the stock we do as it i... 
Best integrated tube amp under 3K
The SLI-50 is a super-cool unit. A note (correction) about the Cary SLI-80 Sig...it is class A if you switch it into triode. The amp is switchable while you listen to 80w ultralinear to 40 w triode. It also has switchable 4 and 8 ohms speaker taps...

Hey Dekay - you are right...I did miss your question about 300B prices. I saw you ask about the 6922 prices, and asked you to go to my website. E-mail is very difficult for this kind of purchase anymore for products like yours. The going back and ...

Meadowlark Kestral Owners! - Amp Help.
They do sound great, don't they? If a customer has a whacky room or a hollering wofe it's the perfect ticket. While any speaker will sound best with perfect placement the Kestrels and to a similar degree the Shearwaters are so forgiving. You know ... 
Meadowlark Kestral Owners! - Amp Help.
The best I have heard is with a tube ultralinear amp. I beg you to try this. The Kestrel Hot Rods are wonderful wonderful speakers. I had them hooked up one nite with the Ah! Tjoeb run direct into and Anthem Amp 1 and will tell you it was stunning...

Good stand-alone phono preamp?
If you are getting the AES PH-1, get the upgraded oil filled caps. Worth the extra money. We don't sell the kit, but sell the assembled product, and it is THAT cool. Really great sounding. You'll be happy with it. 
Buyer Beware!
Call your sponser...or maybe a chat with Winoguy17. 
Sonic Frontiers Preamp & Classe Amp
It's a wonderful combo. Will be neutral out of the box. Soke folks think the Classe is polite, so extended...which tells me it's in the middle. You can them fine tune the Line 3 with tube swaps. But you don't do all of them. Just two. When we sell... 
Any integrated using 6550 tubes...
The big hottie here is the cary SLI-80 Signature. Hnads down nothing has come closes here. I have a customer who lurks here that bought an SLI-50, which he loved so much he then got the 80. The SLI-80 Signature is a very flexible amp that is switc...
