Thank you, moray!

Is. the CV4003 interchangeable with a 12au7? I have a VAC amp with four CV4003’s. One blew. Can I use a 12au7 until I get a replacement?

Thebes you were always a breath of wit, intelligence and insight (after decrypting your surface post). Thad, I marvelled at your pot stirring abilities, but almost always knew it was good natured. There were several others that I enjoyed hearing from, both on and off the forum. But the "wild west" air of the forum, which was generally well policed, gave way to one or two heavy handed and self serving mods, nasty comments on the restricted forum and increasingly vague rules. Therefore, I chose to stop posting and just check in from time to time, sometimes hoping to see Amy's return, our even more hoping to see "the most intersting man in the world" mystically return with his unmistakable comments via head shakes. Nonetheless, several of you have given me many hours of happy times, for which I thank you. All the best, Earl Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

That clears it up...now what's it for again? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

There is no such thing as a "keeper"...just temporary relief from the illness. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I have a Peach case of you are still interested. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I had an MGB when I was 20 years old. I traded my VW bug for it. They were about as different as could be. My VW ran forever, got great gas mileage, could not get stuck in snow...the MGB was totally unreliable, couldn't be driven in ANY amount of snow, leaked like a sieve, and yet it was my dream car. My friend gave me a bumper sticker which summed it all up. It read, "Yeah, but when it runs..." Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

It isn't about the power. The VRDs are driving khorns. Is there a difference in sound? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Any thoughts on the sound difference between the KT77 and KT88? I have VRDs and am considering going to the KT77. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Snippy comments aside, this is the second great amp offer in the past few months. Still wish I had gotten the corvette distress sale amp. Just felt guilty. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Given your screen name, perhaps we can work out a trade...a service contact for audio equipment! Porsche service is ridiculously expensive. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Don't worry.. "They'll be back." Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Great! Let me give you directions to my house!! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Back to the topic at hand - does anyone who plays their equipment every day just leave it on? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Ok...thank you. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Oh, Jimbo boy... Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Oh Jimbo boy. The quips that come to mind. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I accidentally left my amp and preamp on from Friday to Monday. I then did a Google search to see what, if any, damage I did. Well, I found no agreement, even on this Forum. Some engineers argue that it is the heat up/cool down cycle that does damage and point to military and studio equipment that is left on continuously. . Others point to the finite lifespan of tubes, resistors, transformers. Can't we agree on anything?? How about the relative value of high and low end speaker wire and audio cables?

Those are sooo pretty. I sure wish you lived on the right side of the country. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Priced "fairly?" You sir, have a gift for understatement. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Great. Someone got a great deal. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
