Home Tube DIY Asylum

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

Not true

"Anyone continue with the practice of "salvaging" is either got more money than sense or just "out of the loop"."

Really? How about 40- or 50-year-old integrated amps with worn out pots and switches that can't be replaced, faceplates faded and scratched, and virtually every part needing replacement, including NLA capacitor cans, riveted-in tube sockets and banks of rear-panel jacks? Then there are those awful tone control PECs, sub-optimal bias designs and phono preamps that by modern standards bordered on "defective" even when they were in new working condition. Gimme a break. Anyone who strips this iron and uses it to create a modern, high performance system has done the audio world a favor.
