I wou...

God I would hate to have to pay to replace all those tubes I would be broke!

Yes he is a very nice man, I have not seen him since Covid but have been out to him a few times mainly buying CD's. I wanted that Cooder it was in my wishlist. Its a small world we inhabit. Is there a high fi show this year at all do you know.
