TUBE NOOB: WHAT BRAND

Dfelkai,may I ask what was wrong with my post.I made a statement and a suggestion.Neither was made to belittle you or marginalize your question.I believe I made valid points on both statements.In case you misunderstood my intensions I will try again.First,the term you used "I want the best one possible" is wide open to debate from everyone who uses those tubes,each person will think their favorite is "the best one possible".Second,you listed some brands and I sugguested you try some out to see if you like them or not.If this is "handwaving" I guess I'm guilty.

This is really getting out of hand. No one is supporting you, aside from people that gave a non-response to begin with. Look at Honest1's post. The best you tube experts could come up with after all these years of experience is just try them all, a very impractical solution to people here on planet earth!

>>Why have the internet if you arent going to use it for what it was intended for ????

As I understood it, the internet was meant as a medium of exchange of information. What you are suggesting is that I stick my head in the sand and just buy them all without asking questions. Clever.

Yes the question is general what tubes will give me the best sound. Perhaps a newbie needs to schooled on some details. All I was told is buy them all ans try them.

Now I don't appreciate being misquoted. In the above posts you literally put words in my mouth.

Finally the tube experts have spoken and decided to answer some of the questions I posted. {I am only speaking about the three users have been not only unhelpful but pompous as well. Everyone else great job, and it is appreciated.}

Well now you have answered 4 questions, rudely, and added insult with your help. I guess you can be proud of yourself. It was like pulling teeth and hardly worth it Tpreaves.

No you don't have my gear, but there is plenty of junk, scams to avoid, and details regarding NOS etc.. and someone with experience might be able to offer a newbie, kind of like that thing the internet was made for! Instead you tell me to buy them all, congratulation good job. I sincerely hope your not an investment adviser.

I am saddened to hear that your leaving this thread. Thanks for all the help.

What was rude and insulting about either of my posts?

Dfelkai-

Not suggesting you do that at all, you are the one saying that. I simply suggested that you do some research and to try things on your own first ( my first reply ).

Yes the question is general what tubes will give me the best sound. Perhaps a newbie needs to schooled on some details. All I was told is buy them all ans try them

The answer that the member gave probably wasnt meant to be taken serious....but obviously you did. So who's fault is that ?

Now I don't appreciate being misquoted. In the above posts you literally put words in my mouth.

And how did I do that....please explain.???

No you don't have my gear, but there is plenty of junk, scams to avoid, and details regarding NOS etc.. and someone with experience might be able to offer a newbie, kind of like that thing the internet was made for!

You are right, I dont have your gear, and yes there are things that one needs to look out for and the members on this site will gladly offer their opinions to help another member out, but for some reason, you think that some of us are against you and this is not the case.

You reply that I dont try and offer help, but yet if you go back to your thread here :

I believe that I sent you an email with a little bit of input that might have been useful, but did you take the time and reply ?
