Buying Tubes Again; Maddening

Just replaced my beloved Linn Majik 140's with Lipinski 707's. All tube system and never going back to SS. I've never had a problem with the amp or preamp tubes. Everyone should listen to the Lipinski's, their sound is unreal right out of the case.

Test on why Music lovers the overwhelming majority are male, are still using Tubes.

A. Tubes make great music too.

B. Not all Tube amps are costly to maintain or own.

C. Tubes and Boobs are Hot.

D. Cause its nice to still have the choice.

E. All of the above

Cheers

Just today I had to make the decission whether to buy the longer lasting tube or the better sounding tube. I chose the better sounding tube.

Now what do you call long and short lasting tubes? Just curious.
As for complaining, audiophiles and people in general always find something to complain about.
