For the record, I've always listened to you guys on head-fi. Therefore I have upgraded the chair to matching color with the audio rack.
Thank you for all of your feed backs.

I am honored and humbled that someone whos system costs as much as a third of my "disposable" internal organs took my advice. I have kept my kidney in good condition for a moment like this.

Protecting precious headphones from covid is definitely a good idea

Not sure what I like more, the headphones or the bottles

I wonder what would be adequate pairings. Z1R maridage with red wine or with whisky or ...?

Would you prefer a Bordeaux or a Claret?

LMK if you get that.

In the driver position now are Sylvania VT-107A w/adapters, next up will be the @Paladin79-endorsed Melz 1963 6SN7 ! So many promising, attractive combinations, so little time!

I just had a few more friends confirm that this rare variation of the Melz 1578 is one of the best tubes they have ever heard. It took six months of searching to find the 1958's, after I received a 1956 by accident. The perforated plates are popular but this tube offers a better noise floor when combined with various power tubes as well as having incredible balance and clarity across the spectrum.

Hopefully, from a seller who had a bulk box of 100, and you got the entire bulk... Otherwise, how else can you provide 1 of those for every person who is lucky enough to get this amp from you?

LOL I found three, and I do not include them with my amps. I did have a large batch of 63 Melz but they went quickly and I did include some with my amps. When I can, I help out friends but I cannot do much on the solid plate Melz at this point in time. I sent one around to several friends on here for a listen and some were not too happy about sending it on lol.

Once Covid lets up I am in the middle of a 6sn7 compatible blind shoot out and know how that tube scored in comparison to some of the top tubes in the world, in preliminary tests it did extremely well. Final testing will involve 50 people and we will get an average score for what we believe to be the top 52 6sn7's and equivalents out there.

I say equivalent or compatible because we are even testing single triode tubes like 6j5's and 7A4's.

I shared my main setup a few pages back. This is my pandemic work from home desk setup.

Cannot wait to see @bcowen choosing the GE as his favorite tube in the blind test!!!

Bill did an amazing job in a bet I had with him. As I recall he picked five of eight tubes blind and just barely missed the GE. One of the tubes, a black glass VT-231 Ken Rad was not something he had heard before. In the mix I had the 56 solid plate. This was before I added vent holes.
