Eric McChanson Headphone Amp??
I use mine to store my most used tubes, I have other storage solutions for spares and other tubes. I really want one of those RCA boxes but have never had the opportunity to purchase one as a reasonable cost.- kvtaco17

RCA TV Repair Box ^ I really want one of these but I can't justify the price... the Zenith one I have was free-fifty! This one has tube storage still!- kvtaco17

Its a TV repair box, it had a shelf for tubes and misc parts (missing when I got it) and the bottom was tool storage.- kvtaco17

Actually re-soldering the pins fixed my problem, both tubes test much better and the loud pop hasn't shown up again... I noticed a small crack at the tip of a few pins with the tube wire just hanging out in there... This is probably the result of me constantly changing tubes and damaging the pins.- kvtaco17

My OTL is still kicking after the last 11 years of ownership. My 5998's however are getting noisy with age... I tested them last night and they're still "good" but in the 60's instead of the 80's when I got them... I really don't want to fund replacing them so I guess back to rolling... Any...- kvtaco17

I finished the first box... It was pretty easy sorting since they were mostly NOS (testing will be a winter activity) This is my hell for the next year or so...- kvtaco17

Eric McChanson Headphone Amp??
My last few days have been sorting through a lot of NOS tubes I acquired... Plenty of tubes that would work in the ultimate so far (I have a dozen set aside for testing) plus some that will work in my Glenn OTL. I have 2 more large bins completely full of unboxed tubes to go through, I totally...- kvtaco17

I spent my first few years at Lineage repairing DMS100 and 5E switches, never got any tubes out of it BUT I did get to see the occasional lineup running a giant reel to reel data backup. Video below of a lunatic that actually is in the process of booting up a small site version of the DMS. Large...- kvtaco17

I also used to work for "Good Enough" when they bought up Lineage Power only to sell us off to ABB. It wasn't a bad place to work but spinning off a profitable acquisition and then selling us kinda felt bad...- kvtaco17

Finished beautifying a few of my Grado's today! Both sound great, ZMF pads on both the one in the background is all Turblent (some old I had in storage and some new) with SR60X drivers and the Rholupat kit in the front is an old SR225i driver.- kvtaco17
