Yes, the stuff nightmares are made of. But even worse, I visited a fellow audiophile a while back to listen to his system. Can't tell you what it was comprised of because the first thing I saw was dust on his amp. Dust!! Despite my inner voice telling me to remain calm and be polite, I couldn't help but run out of the house screaming. I mean, was I wrong?

Yes. You should have helped him by offering to dust off his tubes langorously with your tongue. At the very least it would make for a great viral video.

Kind of like a Ford Pinto and a Corvette are practically the same thing. I'll be glad to send Finnegan a GE 5998A in exchange for that GEC. He won't know the difference, and apparently you won't either.

Sorry, Finnegan chose that out of some miscellaneous tubes I have in a box so it is his now. He would know the difference. I am curious if you actually bought one of the GE 5998A's and what your thoughts are?

At one point I was trying to decide on four matched power tubes for my test amps and I could not come up with four identical GEC’s so I used Tung Sol 5998’s and built around those.

"Tung Sol"...Reads like a cool name for a Kung Fu movie hero! I looked up the tube it and really looks cool!

Unhappy experiences with customer service often get voiced. Positive ones not so much. This is a quick shout-out to Alex M at Schiit - thanks dude, you rock.

Is that code? That's code, isn't it?

So... Ordered myself a Christmas present. I've been known to play with HO scale trains on the odd occasion, and there's a tiny little company that does animated signs for layouts (they can be used standalone as well). I have their N&W RR stuff, since that's what my layout is based on, but this little beauty caught my eye this morning! Seems like it fits my Schiity decor. Fits in a desktop base that takes a 4.5V adapter or 3 AAs. I think @Paladin and perhaps (since it looks kinda GE-ish), some others, ahem, might require one.

And Happiest of Thanksgiving to those in the US.

Yes. It is like asking for 60 mm mortar shells by radioing in for a Tootsie roll airdrop

Looks good man. Next year I hope to make Ft. Worth to spend time with my 4 brothers and sisters. Thanks for making me homesick. Lol

Love it!

Except @Paladin79 will probably like this one better:

Nice!! I'll be doing a more traditional Thanksgiving at my sister's house tomorrow. Next year is at my house and the main course will be very similar to what's in your picture. I'll be smoking a brisket next week after I finish up a month's worth of training. I hope mine looks as nice as yours.

Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving to all!

May be best not to touch the anode caps while it's powered up (unless you're just running voltage to the filaments).

I guess the antacids will help with the BBQ - joking!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and all my America cousins

Just filaments. Valve are a pair of tired old 572 b's from a Ham Radio amp. ( About 1200 watts PEP )
