I'm in the mood for some Pappy. If anyone would like to send me a bottle of Pappy 23, I might send them some nice tubes. Might. Some decisions are hard. 🤣 🤣

And since you arrived, they'll all see an immediate 20% increase in sales. Bet you get a key to the city pretty soon. 🤣 🤣

But it's not maple, and the tubes won't sound as good. Sigh. Appears my work here is still not done. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Nice!! Getting more and more difficult to find them in such good condition.

So you're sending me a check. Got it. :laughing:

I've often wondered about the source for these adapters. For years now there have been several sellers based in China (including Xuling) that have sold what look to be identical adapters. This leads me to believe that there is one manufacturing source with sales through multiple sellers. Note...

Did you mail my royalty check, or are you planning to send it electronically? 🤣

Ooohh! A gold knob! I like it! No offense intended to @jonathan c 's Count Knobula, but yours is....shiny! 🤣

Lol! That's because Bose told us they were the best in their full-page ads in Stereo Review each month back in my college years. Bose has always been a company that excels at marketing, and also sells speakers. IMO, of course. 🤣

FTFY. 🤣

Well, the thing is I don't have many 5670's. So only fair to complain, right? 🤣 🤣

ROFL! I fondly? remember getting my driver's license when I moved (back) to California. I was required to do the written test (but no driving test), so after waiting the obligatory 3 hours, I did the test and handed it to the visibly disinterested lady at the counter. She graded it, and then...

You might should get a re-diagnosis on that. Has @Paladin79 been sending you those envelopes full of singles by chance? 🤣

Steelers? No, no no. My alma mater is better. Makes me regret getting my Vali 3 in silver. 🤣

No, it's the old tile he took out. But just from around the toilet. 🤣

Bummer. So now you have to stop by the bank and get change before you go? 🤣

Yes! It's $10k a dose. How many would you like? I accept PayPal. 🤣

Heavens no! I figure the only way I'll get bored doing only what I want to do when I want to do it will be because of senility in which case I won't be able to work anyway. 🤣

Geeeez man, what'd I do to you (today)? You'd make me endure an entire afternoon of "Does the sorbothane make my butt look too big?" 🤣

And depending on the application, I only use cardboard that is made from six-9's purity maple fibers. I have standards. 🤣

I would have to dispatch the guys in white lab coats to @Bowmoreman 's house if he ever tried to desecrate those Apogees with sorbothane. But the fact that he owns Apogees indicates he's much too smart for that. 🤣 🤣

With two dozen backups. Not sure how many backups for the backups though... 🤣

If you've 'misplaced' a quad of GEC 6AS7G's, you're probably at Stage 17 or something. 🤣

GE tube storage is in the garage, unless I need the space for something else and then they get moved outside. 🤣

I remember when that hairstyle was popular. Yeah, never. 🤣
