This was my front yard this week. It's hot, but beer fixes that, mostly.This was my backyard today in Santa Barbara, which is close to the beach. That near-70F dewpoint definitely made it feel muggy. Inland temps, like where Schiit is, have been hitting triple-digit F this whole week.
2 pairs of Amperex Bugle Boys from 1962-1963 for the right hand pair, a pair of Soviet 6N23P Reflectors for the left; a pair of 1972 Japanese Raytheon 6FQ7/6CG7's for the right pair on the way, and another pair of Reflector silver-shields from 1974 for the left, also on the way.
I have had just the opposite experience - just to prove my snobbiness. After climbing all morning we walked the 30 minutes back to the car in 104 degree temps. We get to my friends car and he pulls out a cooler and hands me a Modelo that is icy cold. Thankful, I took a hearty swig. I immediately handed the can back to him. That schiit was completely undrinkable! Thirst was far preferable!!!
if you were replacing stock tubes I would say YES, but you've got some nice tubes there, so I'd say Nah to the Gold Lions. I have a set and rolled them into my Freya and while good - nothing spectacular. A pair of Brimar CV455s from Langrex along with adapters and you will have reached the pinnacle of tubedom, IMHO.
Cool! I appreciate your opinion. I may divert the cash to another set of headphones, or the Brimars. This one? https://www.langrex.co.uk/products/12at7-cv455-kb-fb-brimar-rare-triple-mica-1956-nos-valve-tube/I have a se

Yes. Don't let the price fool you. They are HIGHLY REGARDED by many of us tubies here. They are the coveted Footscray factory versions.
Lol. It was my first beer. I was 16 and driving around on the beach (Wrightsville in NC) with a buddy in his dad's 4WD Range Rover when we ran across a dive bar on a lonely stretch of beach. It was 90+ degrees and we were hot and thirsty. Walked in and we were the only patrons at 3 PM. It was dark inside and the AC felt great. Sat at the bar and the bartender asked what we wanted. Behind him was a glorious neon sign for Schlitz beer, so not knowing schiit about beer, that's what we ordered. We are 16 and it was ice cold! Still ranks as one of the best beers I've ever had. Funny how memories work.
Thank you very much! I've added these to the top of my "to get" list!
yes! great wine. great wine doesnt have to be expensive. but great wine is a far better thing than no so great wine! im drinking Billecart Salmon Brut Rose at the minute and its DELICIOUS. its Dom Perignon without the marketing cost!Prisoner Wines - 'Cuttings' Cab is when I found that it's not that I didn't like wine - I just didn't like cheap wine.
