Indeed.. and your relapse is just waiting to happen .
So the Australian "Philips" and "Mullard" were actually better than the real thing?
Yes, exactly. My Philips has the same ladder plates that are common for many other brands, yet it sounds so much better... why??? How can Australia, of all countries, produce a better Mullard, wonder if UT will take the bait lol!why should tubes supposedly made to the same specification but from different factories not behave the same?!! Obviously, materials used can (or could) vary a good bit in their quality/inherent characteristics from one factory to another. And/or I like to think that some hands and fingers possessed more 'magic stardust' than others!! Whatever, 'MiniWatt' + 'Mullard' sure does conjure up a harbinger of something special lol...but now will never know alas ...CJ
The sun's coming up soon and I will be driving home to Sydney for the long Easter break. My mind's on the industrial power conditioner that Tony takes the pain to explain to me that it's better than some of the so call 'audiophile' power conditioners in the market today that is selling for more than your kidneys, heart, lungs and all organs combined.
Tony told me this is a made in Australia power conditioner for industrial use without gimmick and flashy brand names. He told he uses 3 of them and the engineer who made these also supply them to commercial enterprise like the giant telecom company Telstra.
And the price? Half the price of the pair of GEC KT88. Will I buy it? Well let me try to fry my egg and bacon with it. That's the test. If it fries my egg and bacon to perfection, I will buy it.
I use a 3 lines industrial/medical power isolator with DC Blocker and RFI/EMI filter for my audio setup. It is not an active power conditioner which rebuild perfect sine but do the job very well !The sun's coming up soon and I will be driving home to Sydney for the long Easter break.

Maybe some special knowledge/ingredients in the menu that the chefs are not sharing!
BTW I know you are happy with your Chord Hugo TT really, why wouldn't you be when you have the letters "TT" after the name .
We do things here better than the rest of the world. Which is why you don't hear me complaining about hiss and hums from my tubes and amps .... much.... right @mordy ?
Right!
Time to pack up and go home. See you all in Sydney. Bcowen is driving. If we get past Lake George we'll be fine !
I am not sure if you mean the Lake George that is 3 1/2 hours drive from me halfway to the land of the 807 Maple Leaf tube.I'll be napping most of the way, so please keep the chatter to a minimum.
I'm not sure. I was napping the last time too.I am not sure if you mean the Lake George that is 3 1/2 hours drive from me halfway to the land of the 807 Maple Leaf tube.
No worries. I am sure UT will be providing you with a self-driving Tesla or similar for the journey. Unless he only spends big on Tesla tubes, not vehicles for the chauffeur.
You don't know UT very well. This is what he provided me to drive last time. And that's him reaching in his wallet for the $1 (AUS) he paid me for the trip.No worries.
