You definitely are bro

You'll appreciate all those sets when the well runs dry.

I certainly will Bro. At this point I don’t want to listen without Footscrays in my amp. Unless another holy grail pops up. Lol

Assume each Footscray tube life is 6500* hours (after 100 hour cumulative burn-in). With 5 hours per day, including warm-up, for every day that would be 1300 days or 3.6 years. A day off (!!) here and there stretches this out. Swapping between CV4033 and CV455 definitely stretches this out .

*Probably conservative…the tubes are in headphone amplifiers not in power amplifiers for loudspeakers; and in the MJ-II, the tubes are pre-amplification; the SS output buffer does the heavy lifting. (Tubes = brains, SS = brawn).

That why you swap 455 and 4033…

 

[jonathan c]

I think that I can get these made up. I will put in for one size: large. Will toy around with print colour / background colour…and be back. Again, for your viewing pleasure (ideally while listening):

In process! I will p/m when they are in. When you wear your Footscray t-shirt, you will be dressed “to the nine-pins”
