bigdaddy Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I have some really ugly looking KG-4s I bought the other day for 100 bucks. They really surprised me with their sound. So now I want to hear what tubes will do to them. I am in Arlington and would certainly appreciate it if someone would let me bring these over and listen to them. I make fantastic barbq and would be willing to cook a meal for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coytee Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Chris (Cask05) lives in Arlington. I'd bet he'd take care of you however, I don't know if he has tubes. I know he has some interesting stuff... I'd give him a whirl and see if you can branch out from there (presuming he can't help you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcarlton Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Try DFW_Hornheads...several of us have tube amps. I'm located in far North Dallas. I only have a McIntosh MC-275. It maybe a bit more upscale (pricey) than what you are interested in. You are welcome to try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdaddy Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 That would be Sarah Elizabeth. She was a whole 7 weeks yesterday. My first at 39 and when she smiles it just about brings me to tears. That picture was about 24 hours after she was born. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Congrats on the baby girl and welcome to the forum. I've got tubes and I like bbq if you are ever in NC. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you want to hear some really killer blackies-in-the-corners, I''ve got a pair of Jubilees running on Crown XTi SS whizbangs. (...bad Chris, bad Chris) You're welcome to come hear those...

jt1stcav Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Wish I knew about the DFW Hornheads back in '86 when I lived for a short time in Grand Prairie...but I didn't own tube gear back then, nor was I interested (and the Hornheads probably weren't together back then anyway...such is life).

(...bad Chris, bad Chris). Chris P.S., You might be ruined for life... I'm actually bunking in at my BIL's place in Mansfield, just down 360. I would LOVE to come by and hear some Jubilees!! I work in Carrollton and probably drive by Mr. Carlton's place 10X a week, so it would be nice to meet him too. All my SET tube gear is back in Hilton Head with the family (and the Khorns, Cornwall II's, Belles, Heresies, Danley TOP, etc, but my wife isn't complaining) so it will be a few months before I can show up with some quality low power gear (no flames, please). Chris, just shoot me an email on the private messages. It should make its way to my Treo and leave a number. I'll give you a call. This weekend is pretty clear, then I'm heading to the West Coast M-F and back next weekend. Dang ... Jubilees [] PS: I have 2 pairs of KG4's and they sound great with tubes ... or even better, try a Sonic Impact for $30 ... They'll impress you.
