Is this a selling point?

The electronic tubes are all new stock tubes, the rectifier tube is military-grade 6Z4, and the three 12AX7 tubes are all upgraded to Sugon's latest red letter 12AX7, the sound is beautiful and extremely poisonous !
That's interesting. Haven't seen tube toxicity as a metric yet. I wonder if it's just because no one has lived through testing that measurement, could still be a valid test.

Hi all,

Here's a couple of nice songs for the WOW.

First up, I'm a big fan of Shawn Mullins, and here's him playing "Where's Johnny?" live:


And next up is a song by British band Madness. I only discovered this song recently, and it's already become one of my all-time favourite songs by them.
Laydeeez and gennle'men, I give you: "Johnny the Horse" :D

PSA- don’t eat bees. Or let them sting you. Bees are good for the environment, but not as an appetizer. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

"Make me one with everything," says the Buddhist to the tofu hot dog vendor.​

Then, after getting his tofu hot dog, the Buddhist hands the vendor a $20 bill.
The vendor takes the money and begins helping the next customer.
The Buddhist looks puzzled and asks the vendor, "Where is my change?"
The vendor replies, "Change comes from within."

Mechanical calculators: computing without electricity​


Fast and complicated calculations are a product of fossil fuels. Multiplying and dividing numbers was not always that easy. Before the arrival of cheap electronic pocket calculators and computers in the 1970s, people relied on an array of low-tech means and machines to calculate taxes, profits or the properties of engineering parts. Being an obsolete technology now, some of these 19th and 20th century calculators are surprisingly sophisticated and fashionable. Moreover, most are powered by a crank, which makes these gadgets "green". Today's pocket calculators are no power hogs, either. The thing is that computers took over most calculating jobs from calculators, and a large supercomputer consumes as much energy as a convoy of trucks.
