Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

I tend to be a bit of a packrat, so I have to be careful about keeping lots of stuff...

...or I soon wouldn't be able to get into my musicroom. Also, I tend to stock up, early, when I buy a new piece of equipment. I recently bought a pair of Music Reference EM7 SETs...

...so I'm currently accumulating 13EM7s. My amps use 4 and I'm up to 21, which ought to last me beyond my lifetime, but I'm sure I'll buy more--my wife calls me Mr. Excess for good reason. :-) Will be selling my ASL Hurricanes and will NOT be keeping the spare Penta and ValveArt '88s, and will be selling the ASL AQ1006(845)s and their 845s, too...BUT...I'll be keeping/hoarding the couple-dozen Tung-Sol Roundplate 6SN7s I've accumulated.

I've also decided to accumulate TS-RP 6SL7s and have almost a dozen. These are strictly investments--since they quit making them maybe-50 years ago, the value is going UP, not down. We'll see.

My c-j preamp uses six 6C4/EC90/M8080s. I have a couple extra sets of those, almost all British Mullards, about the only brand that's usually not microfonic.
