His stuff is as good as it gets.
I looked at one of those and even signed up for academic pricing on it. But the Analog to Digital converter on it is only 14 bits. So it is helpful for many things but not sensitive enough for definitive evaluations of electronics. It is probably…
It's funny that back in the day when I ran tube gear GE tubes were my least favorite although they were the easiest availability. I always went for the Telefunken , Mullard or Phillips tubes. Sylvania s were good too.
We had 9 and 14. We haven't hit zero yet but it's not unknown. But as I said, "pretending". This week there were like four or five Alberta Clippers in a row. At least we're not having a polar vortex. Good time for tubes and Class A am…
Has anyone used a Mesh Router system. The house I recently moved to, is very long with AT&T coming in one end. I bought a mesh router but haven't opened the box. I then re noticed that there is a cat 5 cable running from one end to the other. …

My sister just gave me her Volvo S80 AWD. It has a five cylinder sidewinder turbo. Imagine a Crown Vic with all wheel drive. It gets around pretty good in the snow and ice we are having this year. Usually St. Louis winters are pretty wimpy but t…

I Love Beryllium domes. And have been looking at other good materials too. Ceramic and sapphire are good but probably denser and heavier than…
Dave is great guy. I get aroused when I see his test gear. and his giant Triode amps (and I don't even really want toob amps any more) ( don't take that wrong I ran Dyna tube amps and MAC MC75 for my first ten or so years as an audio kook.)
I quit carbs a year ago October when I got a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Even though I had been on Lipitor for like ten years it didn't do anything to my triglycerides. When I quit the carbs they came right down. Works for me.
Mark Walker BlueGlow audio and Dave Beard at ElpasoTubeamps both have great audio channels. They both are very highly trained and hook the devices under test to enviable test benches and really know what they are talking about. Also a great on…
