Jesus Christ that's a lot of anime.

I use an $80 Buck as my EDC. I've been told to get a Kershaw. Re: plain edges -- they're the easiest to sharpen, and they don't collect crap at the points.

Noice!

Yeah, YouTube's embedding does not work quite right.

Pfff. I got some serious slacking off I have to catch up on this weekend.

Ah, so it's the lack of logic that causes the screen to appear.

website The short write-up in December's issue of Hi-Fi Choice says, "...by using CRT technology, these valves can be run at a lower power and offer significantly improved lifespans." That'd be the part that got my attention.

No, I think he's saying, "Oh, hey, look at that!" "In your dreams..." "Yah, pretty much."

No, I was just talking about your attitude. Go to your happy place.

Handwriting -- C- Showing your work -- B+

I second both of these -- you need to figure out the problem with your amp, fix it and test it with known good tubes -- new production is fine -- and then once you fix the amp, check your extant tubes to see if they're really broken.

It's not necessarily the last post, with the peanut gallery we have here. I think you need to relax your uptightedness on this topic.

I do believe that already exists ... and is illegal.

Just received it, in gorgeous packaging.

I'd love to -- it is certainly something within my capabilities -- I just don't have the time.

Let's go back to my theory -- sounds like you're having connection problems at the pins/socket of the tubes. If you are, that will kill tubes. So that's what I think your problem is, as I've said before. Hirsch uses a silver coating to make sure each pin gets a good solid contact with its corresponding socket, you may want to try something like that (but be careful not to create a connection between adjacent pins, etc.).

The technology exists -- if it exists for the consumer, I don't know. If it doesn't, I can't imagine it'd be too hard to write -- I've used the google ajax API myself. Just start with a canonical list of search hits, and then compare new iterations of the search result set against the canonical set and look for differences.

Well no wonder you're having imaging problems.

I think I've seen the EL86 used for something recently, but can't remember...

You sound conflicted. I concur. And: win.

Smeggy needs to talk with God again.

Re: condition -- start with pictures -- if they're really valuable, send them to someone you trust to test them. Or just qualify your sales with "not tested". And just to be clear on the latter, I did mean after pulling out the few valuable ones.
