    242 vacuum tube tester

    By chance is there anyone out there that would have a tester that can test 242's? My Allnic H8000 phono uses 4 of them. One is weak and I'd like to find the culprit. I have 6 total. Thanks, John

It in my mind is a beautiful piece of furniture. Sorry the picture is so bad. Bad lighting and Kindle...

    Thought I'd introduce myself

    I'm not sure this is the right place for introductions but here goes. I'm retired and happily living in Santa Fe NM. I've loved music all my life. I became an audiophile about 25 years ago when I got a good job and some disposable income. I've had some different systems over the years and some...
