Hey ya MikE
Hmmm good question Mike LOL Right now I have this real dumb look on my face for I don't know why. I think it's cause back then I was tweakin and slinging solder on my PP Dynaco ST 70. I got it to a good working state and then moved on. Not had much in the way of tube gear fall into my hands lately other than some older bakelite lil AM/FM/shortwave radios from the 50's and early 60's. I posted in the DIY forum with a valve amp that I wouldn't mind building for fun. Alas, another day...
I wanted to upgrade the 7199's in my Dynaco with a real sweet drop in board from Ned over at Triode. I think it's around 150 bucks but I just havn't had the coin or for that matter time to throw at it. And then also I keep thinking that I will some day upgrade to something in the realm of what you have. I have tons of homework to do before I can make a move that way though. I believe you know the story all to well!
But believe me ohhhh yeahhhh... I will be striving for less and less junk in the signal path and get the music so carefully extracted from the vinyl source to achieve the ultimate sound reproduction. I am often suprised with the kind of gear that you prefer that you don't have a TT. Ohhhh baby would those Moths and your Sonatina's do their best. I would LOVE to bring my Thorens over to your place and hook it up with my most pristine vinyl. Just to see the look on your face LOL
:guitar:
Anyway, yeah I ain't been postin much in tubes sadly. Be sure when I have something more than just "half baked" to say why I will be certain to say so.
