Two visitors this afternoon who dragged themselves to mine (from Nottingham,
no less) to hear my Triode amp wre obviously deeply impressed and asked me
'How did you get into valves, then?

Answer: Easy - I tried dozens of ss amps and none of them hit the mark. The
minute I swapped a Parasound 5 channel arc welder (HC1205A ??) for a valve
amp, I never looked back!

That's two kids in their 20's into valves *already* - one to get a triode
amp next week and the other sometime in the near future!

Ya hafta larf!!
