All the good Russian writers had gobs of good short stories.

Must.. not.. buy companion AO to my current

Dual is interesting, depending on the recordings and apparently my ears, the settings on each can vary at times

Another Happy Tubesday that isn't a Tuesday. Finally got my Brimar 6J5G setup, outstanding stuff...

.

Awesome, look what the mailman just gave me! He's a hell of an artist, is amazing live, and had a decent role on one of the Fargo seasons if anyone watches that show

Put the music on, as soon as it doesn’t seem right, change the music/station, but don’t turn it off - Bill Walton

ZMF does a better job of making closed backs sound like opens than any manufacturers I've tried. I'm hoping the right set pops up during hot cup summer this year so I can have Atriums in both open and closed...

I think it is safe to say the Vali 3 is a hit. I can't remember the last product that diverted the conversation to the product this much lol. I'm honestly glad Valhalla 3 got delayed or I would not have tried it!

I was always under the impression it was for "contractor brazil", Philco had (has?) electronics manufacturing in Manaus. I think I have some Philips Miniwatts that say Brazil on them also.

Manufactured in Brazil, if I'm not mistaken

Nearly same thing, 6189 is 12AU7WA, or industrial/ruggedized

Should be out that way in a month or so, start finding good restaurants! My wife's family is from Poteet (similar distance from SA but south). Reaaaal small town but they have a massive strawberry festival in April.

Finally got one in decent condition... these are huge!

Must be the Indiana connection! Actually sipping some Tin Cup right now, I think my locals were right, this is the best CO has right now

I think they're stopping production actually

Houston and San Antonio in 2 weeks, who's got food recs there??

Thank you. I need to solicit good recs more often. I wouldn't have ended up having a bad meal in St Louis today (Pappy's wasn't open, so will remedy that tomorrow). Got a Cardinals ticket for a cool $3. Strategic work travel.

Well, ended up being on my way out of town, so...

Sounds right. If Tung Sol is not expensive enough, chase WE421A's, they are out of control!

Chatham 5998 is a cheaper way to get the Tung Sol, they're the same thing. My Svetlana is 80s made and lordy is that bright

Will any of the drops this year have stabilized aeolus?

Thank you! Alas, heading to St Louis this morning (and Pappy's Smokehouse, in all likelihood)

I'm in KC right now. At Q39, not bad wings, now pork belly..

Ah, out here they are Rocky Mountain Oysters...
