Very informative, thanks for the vids!
By the way, a friend shared me the ad below last week. Thought I'd share the "How Tubes are Sold in 2009" version here

The scary part is, there's probably some fool out there who'd pay the $50...

I'm surprised that they use their bare hands (oily, dirty) to assemble the grid/cathode/anode. Cool vids

I'm IT/digital engineering student. So I know somethings about what happens in a DAC and trust it a bit more than most here it seems. Tubes are just insanely untrustworthy in comparison. Its like the difference between a really well trained soldier and a hippie - while the soldier is million times more precise, trustworthy, pratical, fearless and aggresive etc. etc. the hippie however often have some pretty groovy vibes to chill with. Impossible to combine like trying to breed Gradio's with hearing aids.
Hmmm.. Hearing aids with a sound signiture anyone?

Good God... and I thought I'd never see anything as epic as that.
