| Takatsuki 300B 2 different models, anyone noticed? @jasonbourne52 , the “glasses” are typically made from mica and are used to support and align the tube internals inside the glass envelope. In some instance, they may be attached to the getter. | |

| KEF Reference 3 or Raidho X2? Used Raidho sell for 30 cents on the dollar or less, therefore, you can get some of their top models for cheap. Raidho have a house sound that is very transparent and neutral which in some systems can sound lean. No experience with the Kef 3. Don... | |
