Yeah my thoughts too, I only got the amp back to 100% last week so I wasn't really focussing on how the speakers sounded, I could tell they were better but couldn't sit down and have a decent listen without faffing about switching the amp off, letting valves cool down and then swap one and so on.Originally Posted by jandl100
I'll be honest, I sent a text Tony ( weeteecee ) to say I was selling everything and giving up I was so frustrated and fed up with it all.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Whenever I get troubles with a valve amp I promise myself I will NEVER get another one.
High maintenance, but they can sound very good.

Never had any bother with a valve amp. Had a few dodgy transistor examples though.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Wow - I reckon I've had at least a 10 to 1 ratio of valve against tranny amp problems.
Pretty much all to do with dodgy valves.
