I had heard a few years back that audio aficionados had been going back to
some
tube technology, and you are the first specific instance that I had heard of.


Tubes never really went away in the area of music CREATION.
They tend to emphasize the uneven overtones (5ths and maj. 3rds) and give
sound a certain "warmth".
My "amp of choice" for my guitars is still an old, 1970 vintage Fender Quad Reverb.
An added benefit is that when I fire it up in the winter......it heats my house.

I always liked my Heathkit Amp, until the sound of caps gassing up, (then
blowing over/open, or whatever you want to call it) was almost as frequent as
the sound of clear music.


Hey! I built one of those.
It was still working when I sold it in the late 70's.

Ok you guys... This is bringing back alot of wonderful memories of my
early years. I built some heathkit stuff, bought them from Olson
electronics in Miami Fla.. Ahhh, the smell of solder and the feeling
one gets when you plug it in for the first time and it doesn't smoke
or trip the breaker,,, Actually they were those screw in fuses back
then... Seems to me I killed more of the green fuses then the red
ones, but I digress......... I also agree on the fine sound of the
fender amp. I had a Strat and a bandmaster amp in another life and
those days were a great time, and the beginning of my hearing
loss. :)). Thanks for reminding me....

Now back to your regular scheduled programming. !!!!!!!!!!!!

Ben.
