I have a couch right behind the chair in my home office, just plop down on that. Also just got a 25' Mogami extension so I can reach the couch in my speaker room (very quiet there) or the couch in the Florida room.
 
Come to think of it, if I drop this cable through the window I can listen in the backyard...

So I got around to refinishing the base. Sanded it down, restained it with ebony, and put a few layers of satin poly over it. Also drilled some holes on the bottom for some rubber feet to help with ventilation and sliding around. Looks great in person, the cell phone picture doesn't really do it justice but that's all I have right now. Pretty happy with the results.

Anyone know of a good place to get a single Tung Sol 5998?  eBayers are all selling them as pairs & the TubeDepot's, etc. of the world are sold out.
 
Am I going to have to buy a pair and sell one?  Yeesh.

Yeah that and they've been going for ridiculous prices too. Pretty sure it'd be easy to sell in the FS forums though if you do get a pair for a reasonable price.

I like having a pair anyway. A spare tube isn't a bad thing to have around given that they are a consumable.

You can buy a pair and sell one if you must. I did that and ended up keeping both, though, so be careful..

 Looks like vacuumtubes.net has some 5998's. But I have to say I have no experience with them, I got mine NOS from a headfier sometime ago.

I've emailed them twice today with zero response. Not a very good first impression.
