RE: "Selling those off will help to fund my new amps and preamps"

Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

I completely understand that. OTOH, it's my goal to continue building the best gear I can, and I hope it might outlive me and eventually be appreciated by others in the family. Leaving behind a hoard of tubes won't benefit anyone, in fact it would be a burden, so I'm trying to find a better balance. To tell the truth, I don't really need more equipment at this point. My latest preamp is nearly perfect, and other than a few tweaks here and there, I doubt it can be bettered in any significant way. I feel the same about the headphone amp and main amp that I'm using. They're so good, even my restored Citation v is now on standby and up for sale locally. I love building gear though and don't intend to spend my final years sitting around the house watching TV. I just need to keep enough of the most useful tubes and components to feed this hobby. :)
