DecWare 300B amp
Very cool, what is it?  
Best sounding headphones you have owned?
I love my Klipsch HP 3.   Don't use them often but they sound great.    I had some Grado RS 2e and they were excellent,   I ended up giving them to my son in law and he uses them all the time  My first pair was over 40 years ago, AKG k240...   I ...

NOS Tubes - Ecstasy or Agony
I just bought some tubes from Craig Ness,  he specializes in guitar tubes but has some very good NOS.   I bought a pair of 7788 Amperex and they were in crisp boxes, they were time capsules.   I put them in my Hickok 800 and they were super strong... 
Need tube help!
NOS are $$$.   For preamp tubes the JJ 12ax7 and 12au7 sound great and are reasonably priced.  My only KT88 were Gold Lion.  Pricey but they have thousands of hours on them and not only do they still test strong but they are still tightly matched....

Hifi Rose RA180
Apparently that “sub out” wasn’t tested in the prototype and pre production samples.   Some issues that a small new company has I can forgive or overlook but that is a serious omission.     That would be a total deal breaker for me.  Thanks for m...

A Cool Opportunity to Help
Nice story.    I always try to do the same.   I try to be a good ambassador of any hobby I'm into.   I was talking to my office manager and found out she had a turntable but her receiver died.    I gave her a vintage Technics receiver with a phon...
