TUBE NOOB: WHAT BRAND

What was rude and insulting about either of my posts?

Dfelkai-

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

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 ?

What email?

I don't care to argue anymore. I thought you left this thread?

You probably dont have it now, but when you posted that thread about the cartridge ( see the link in my last reply ), I sent you a email....

You probably deleted it ( no big deal ), but to sit and comment that I wont offer help is not correct at all, when in fact I did then and offered now.

I think that there is the possibility that you are taking my replies the wrong way.....and if you go back and read my first reply, it says :

It's good to ask questions, but sometimes one has to try things on their own without the help or input from others

Which I was also adding to what the first member in the thread had said.

What one person likes in his system , another person wont.....there is no perfect amp, speaker, cable, tube etc....its all a matter of what sounds good in ones system.

I suggest that you call Andy at "Vintage Tube Services", he has the equipment to properly test tubes and can sell you tubes that are not micro-phonic. He can also tell you which brands hold up the best and the differences between them. After all tubes are his business. Good Luck!
