" My ears aren't good enough to tell the difference"...oh wait thats true, lol! :eek:

Kind of embarrassing -"Hey check out my new Satch album on vinyl!"....pop,poo, crackle, hiss, pop...lol

I think its getting better with playing. Ive listened to the same side 4 times now and it seems quieter. Let my new stylus clean it. :eek:

Neat inscription...looks dusty...

Im sure this has been beaten to death but I guess my search skills are poor. Point me in the right direction if so...My brand new Satch album Shockwave Supernova has a lot of pops and clicks. Compared to my old copy of JT's greatest hits which is almost dead silent between tracks its really...

Nice! Great value. After hearing about the Fireflies and other inexpensive geetars I decided to try and finbd the cheapest one I could- enter the Grote. $56 to my door. It needed some set up TLC and a bit more to make it really enjoyabvle but the finish , like your firefly was great. The 'bones"...

Perhaps- its as close as we are going to get but then again all tubes are vintage technology. Yes it slipped my mind JJ was one of the 3 remaining sources in the world. Slovakia, Russia and China and one of the reasons Blackburn Tech Tubes was such a big deal at the time. Anyways the...

Not the point. Ei reportedly used old Tele tooling .

Yes but in that case they weren't trying to brand them as Tesla. Ei also comes to mind.

The only thing Mike Matthews (New Sensor) acquired is the names- no tooling -at least that I'm aware of. The only reissue " Mullard " Ive seen appears to be a (hopefully tweaked) Sovtek LPS. If you have more info please post a link. It would be cool if they did resurrect the old tooling...

Not sure what you are saying . New Sensor acquired the names "Mullard", Tung Sol", ect. Just a blasphemous use of venerable names imo... There are no vintage tube companies -unless you mean vintage tube dealers. Thats another story. Russia and China still produce tubes thankfully- they are the...

Got three of them still. Guess I should keep them safe...A pair sold for 749$ on ebay... https://www.ebay.com/itm/TechTube-Blackburn-e813cc-Matched-Pair-BRAND-NEW-ULTRA-RARE-/121480769848?_trksid=p2047675.m43663.l10137&nordt=true&rt=nc&orig_cvip=true

Just wondering if the forum has a dark theme? TIA Bob

Spotify is great. Got a 10 hour long "Coffee Table Jazz" playlist I listen too frequently. Don't know who I'm listening to but is all smooth, mellow stuff. I like it.

Just a few tid bits I could find about Nippon Sound Co. LTD. http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/identify-this-mystery-receiver-sound-srq-602x.390519/ https://auction.catawiki.com/kavels/21012577-ultra-rare-amplifier-nippon-sound-co-ltd-japan-sa-750-vintage-amplifier...

Its fun and seems to function well too! I thought the same thing at first about the blue LED's. Now it reminds me of blue glow in power tubes. bob

Chinese 6J1. I can get a pair of NOS JAN GE 5654W's for less than $20. I have to say I'm impressed with the little bugger. Solid metal casing, Bluetooth plus other two inputs, controls feel smooth. I know its cheap as hell but only because it was cheap as hell!, lol!

Just got my $80 bluetooth preamp- ordered Friday night and delivered by the USPS at 9 am today on Sunday! Damn thing works great. Now I can switch between my computer scarlett/monitors set up or my HiFi set up or run my phone thru my HiFi set up- BT or wired. Need some NOS tubes for it now, lol...

Nothing happening here until May. Bob

Got the logitech BT today. Seems to work well. No need to boost the signal. Running the Rotel at 4 ohms two Peavey 12" 2 ways and two 10" 2 ways. Not audiophile quality but I could rock the entire neighborhood if I wanted, lol! Actually the Peaveys sound pretty good with St Vincent "Los Ageless"...

Just convenience. Spotify on my phone.
