Re: What did you do to your stereo rig today?
It's certainly a different presentation than my EL34 and KT88 tube amps. I hesitate to call one tube/amp "better" than another, they're all just different and have their own character and performance attributes.
The 300b has more midrange "bloom" and greater realism with vocals and instruments, in my limited experience. The mids are expansive and deep, with plenty of motion. Just about perfect tonality too. Really nice stuff.

Re: Appliance Motor Repair?
I have a Stihl 026 I got in the very early 90’s and I’ve worked the living shite out of it. It’s a great saw. The cylinders and compression are still good after more than 30 years of hard work. I just used it today.
You know, I was wrong on mine, I went and checked and it is an 026 model as well, not 027.
It was/is a great saw. I had to change the clutch on mine and it needed a new bar because the old one got warped, by me, from using a dull chain and letting things overheat...that's about it.

Re: What did you do to your stereo rig today?
I dipped my foot into the world of SET amplifiers. I've been enjoying 8 glorious watts of 300b power. No problem at all driving my 87db sensitivity Usher bookshelf speakers.
It's a one of five of these particular 300b amplifiers designed and built by Sean Casper.
"NOS Tango XE-20 OPTs, Takman, Kiwame, and Carbon Comps resistors, Miflex copper PIO coupling caps. TJ FullMusic 300b, NOS 5Z3 rectifier, Siemens C3M drivers"
Really digging it so far!

Re: Just signed up for the SVS event at World Wide Stereo
SO I went to the even and the new Ultra Speakers are impressive. beautiful in design, very wide sound stage and super clean smooth from top to bottom.
I'd like to give them a run.

Re: Post a picture... any picture
Mrs. H is birding up in Pittsburgh, NH for a coupla days.
I mentioned to her that this does not appear to be a bird.
... and where is Pittsburgh, I hear you ask?
Well, go any further north, and you have to speak French.
