Tube DIY Asylum

Part of the inflation comes from production pressure on existing suppliers.

I really don't think this tariff thing was thought out. I suspect Trump was asleep in 3rd grade when this stuff was taught (at least, that is when they taught that in North Carolina back in the 1960s...).

Seems logical to me! Or maybe didn't pass 1st grade? Or.....
maybe it doesn't matter?

Hey! I've been playing around a lot lately-- with old Genelex,
Mullard, and Gold Lion KT88's. The Real Thing.

I think they really are "The King of Power Tubes".
What is wrong with me? I've always hated
NOS tubes-- you know-- those old pot-metal things with
low vacuums, and crappy internal hookup wires? Especially
the triodes? (Except for Eimac, of course)-----.

But KT-88's? Genelex/Gold-Lion did use good stuff, it seems....

There just isn't any doubt whatsoever about their audio
performance-- in my opinion, so I just had to try all the new
"Gold Lion" replicas, the "Mullard" replicas, The JJ's-- both
standard and blue-glass and the TAD's-- both standard and
"Black-Plate".

Well, what is wrong with me? I was once doing all DHT's.....

Well? Heck! The KT-88's are all good, but the Electro has
less bottom-end, but is otherwise excellent, the JJ's are a
"sit back and enjoy the guitars" dream, The Gold-Lions
have more of everything and are very powerful & clean,
the Mullards are OK overall as are the standard TAD's,
but the "Black_Plate" model (of TAD) will stun you and
set back most all of your pet theories about vacuum tube
fidelity-- a few notches!

My, My! Isn't that a Hoot! They're Chinese. Oh, Oh!

Get ready for unstability-- it's that time of the century now.

C- in Econ at Wharton/UPenn after he transferred in from Fordham. I know people that know him personally. He really doesn't know how it works. Hopefully the people around him can manage it if he will listen to them at this point. I work in Finance. It has already costs us a lot of time working on contingencies. Everyone is.

  I have no doubt he does not understand many of his actions, but what astonishes me is his ability to find advisors willing to become his sock puppet even in spite of their prior training and experience which might otherwise lead them to advise against, for example these high tariffs.

      Search up semi-conductors in Mouser or Digikey.
      
      I suspect you are looking for a specific tariff notice on a specific part. I don't have that.
