Pleasantly Surprised

LOL, perhaps. Though I've run that last amp to it's grave. No wonder I am surprised.

Good for you. You certainly got yours moneys worth.

I used a Carver TFM 24 since I bought it new in '91. I replaced it, even though it worked fine, with a B&K reference 202.2 last year. I plugged it back in before I sold it and immediately unplugged it. It was like nails on a chalkboard compared to the B&K.

the glass bottles are calling you.....

WAIT!! SHHHHHHHHHH

can't you hear them.......

barroter~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Barroter~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~come to us

come to us.................................

Many years ago I changed from Carver solid state to B&K solid state and was overjoyed. I can vividly relate to that memory. Many years later, I was equally astounded by the difference between NOS and current production vacuum tubes. I don't claim to be an expert, but I've yet to hear a current production tube better an NOS replacement. Enjoy the ride.
