Chicago?…….and would ‘rural’ ale be malt liquor?

Nah, fool! That's "Urban" Ale.

Is Rural cider from the mountains of WV? Or is it Urban hooch?

Thanks to all the opinions shared from experts here I am a proud new owner of an MJ2! Let the tube rolling adventure begins.

Speaking of which I am having a lot of trouble finding the tungsram Ecc82s, is it a fair thing to say brimar cv4033 and/or cv55 are good alternatives?

All comes down to preference when you get into big league tubes. The cv455 are readily available and reasonably priced. You MIGHT find those tungsram ecc82 over the next few years lol.
The Footscray tubes are phenomenal. Just make sure you get the adapters to use them.

Congrats!!

And once you start tube rolling, you do realize that the MJ2 purchase was the least expensive part of this journey, right?

I think I might have found another top performing ECC81 folks! I've got the RFT folded plate ECC81 in the house and currently burning it in, and I am loving what I am hearing so far . . .More to come after burn in, but so far I am really and I mean really liking what I am hearing so far.
