    41 and I will be using tubes until I die (or the NOS tubes run out , whichever comes first! :lol: ). Did the SS thing, and switched to tubes about 10 years ago. I won't be going back to all SS. My amp is SS, however. My DAC is tube and my pre-amp is tube.

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    51 it appears that a lot of us grew up during the best times the 70's when music was the best and so was everything else, seen Cheap Trick last night and we'll heck after a few brews I was sent back in time great show and knowing those guys are older than me well heck made me feel much better, the wife still has a thing for Robin Zander. So looking at the poll so far us late 40s -50 year old Polkies are the norm. Well back to bed I might still party like days of old I just need more time to recuperate.
