Well OK it is audiophoolery but it's still nice tube construction.

I just wanted to listen to some old Beatles albums.

Sure...

I couldn't tell from the pix, but if those pieces don't have wooden knobs, forget it! Ya just can't get perfect sound with metal knobs...just ask the guys who sell wooden knobs.

Though this pair won't be for sale, two commissions in a similar chassis (and clocking in at $50-60K) are already in the works...

And audiophool and his money? Price of everything and the value of nothing?

Acura has a new auto commercial out that features a guy sitting with his tube audio amp beside him trying to convince the world and himself how impressive it is, it's very funny and has the tube audio amp people in a real dither.

Just what DOES a choke, or a rectifier sound like???

At the input or output of either??? 60hz, 120hz or 240hz most likely.

Probably. Most of the audiophools are reallly hungup on big triodes in Class A.

"There's real gas in these tubes" the man says. Must be some of those cheapest Chinese numbers!?
