January 30th: Arizona Head-Fi Meet Q1 2016
If anyone needs or wants to have their tubes tested, I have a score of testers and I am happy to bring one. Just let me know or will leave them home. Saturday is almost here - looking forward to seeing everyone again and meet some new friends! Some of my loaner cans did not make it back...- Garage1217

It is our pleasure to donate the Solstice. Great to hang out with local enthusiasts! We will bring out all of our gear to live demo again and by all means, just ask and you can take any of our designs to your own setup(s) at the event and have a listen. We will also bring a myriad of headphones...- Garage1217

Arizona Head-Fi Meet Summer 2015
I plan to attend - bring more things :) Another idea, how about a hotel conference room? I can check into a local Hampton Inn and see if I can use points to reserve a room or what the cost would be. Hotels are generally nice as they are close to good food and the freeway.- Garage1217

Very cool gear guys - glad this post was dug up. Good to see so many keeping vintage gear in such excellent condition! That 747 is a beauty.- Garage1217

Necroposting at its finest :) But while I am here... some of my goodies. Boy do I feel for the people that hand wired these back in the day. You do have to love that wonderful early electronics smell. Fills my whole office! - B&K 707 black case - calibrated and tested, slightly modded...- Garage1217

Project Sunrise/PS2 Tube Rolling Thread (and maybe even Project Horizon and Project Ember)
All of the early Sunrise I kits and many Sunrise II kits received reflektor 6n23p's until the sources dried up. Then the change was made to voskhod and those sources quickly dried up. Shoot me a detailed photo from the side of your tube and I can tell you exactly what you have.- Garage1217

Project Sunrise/PS2 Tube Rolling Thread (and maybe even Project Horizon and Project Ember)
I like 12av7’s in general. Funny as I have a Raytheon I am listening to in a starlight right at this very moment . I do find them noticeably more susceptible to noise than other tubes in certain situations. And yes, prices on all vintage tubes have been on a rapid rise over the last 6-8 months I...- Garage1217

Project Sunrise/PS2 Tube Rolling Thread (and maybe even Project Horizon and Project Ember)
No secret I am a fan of the 12bh7 / 12bh7a, but I recently have been toying with their less common brother, the 6gu7 which is basically a 6v version. Outstanding tall bottle tube (tall for a mini 9 pin at about 1/2" taller than say a 12au7) and can be had for a couple of bucks per tube. To note...- Garage1217
