My girlfriend is into tubes :smirk: by osmosis, of course. She could probably build a serviceable amplifier with how much I rant to her about the things.

THE cat is named Finnegan and she is our tube buddy 😀😀😀
Finnegan is male. As far as females and audio, Audiogal currently has one of my Incubus amps and she gave me a very good audio description of tubes I included with the amp. Those included a Melz 1578, Tung Sol black and grey glass, and even a GE 5998.😀

That is an interesting thought...there has got to be a female on here interested in tubes. C'mon...identify yourself, lol, :girl:
It's very easy as just brining up this argument in the thread, we will definitely hear from any "dormant cell" and the comment won't be funny or friendly (been there, heard this)😁😁

Especially considering that women typically have better hearing than men....making the sonic difference between VT and SS all the more apparent. [Please keep the spousal selective deafness commentary to a minimum...😉]
Selective deafness "is the ability not to hear a very close frequency while still being able to hear it from a long distance even in sleep mode" (quoted from Wikipedia, for safety reasons) 😃😃😃

Wait till her status change to "THE wife" and re-check her tolerance threshold when it comes to tubes (you have been warned brother) 😁😁

Going on a decade so the "girlfriend" title hardly seems relevant anymore lol so far she has tolerated a living room stereo system with a tube amplifier, tube DAC and tube phono, a bedroom stereo system with another tube amplifier, my desk with a tube headphone amp, and an electronics workstation in the basement where I...build more tube amps :gs1000smile: am I definitely at the edge of spouse acceptance factor LOL.

The Incubus and tubes should be on the way to California soon and another listener. If it arrives back in this area I will send it on to @jonathan c for a listen. He seems like a fine upstanding guy as opposed to the reprobate who resides in North Carolina. :ksc75smile:

This Incubus and those tubes. I will leave any tube and amp descriptions up to @AudioGal.

He does not show up till after 5PM my time so I can say anything I want till then.🤪🤪 It’s not like I go to where he works and slap the corn dog out of his hand.
