    Sick and tired of buying RCA cables for vintage gear

    I have some old Switchcraft interconnects that are over 60 years old. The center hot pin is a bit larger than more modern versions. So, if you try to use them with modern amps/receivers or whatever, you have to force them into the female jacks. They work fine with vintage gear from the era...

    Lance Cochrane tube amp - never got it working correctly

    For that kind of cash, you'd think he would at least spend the time to twist the heater wires.

    Snap, crackle, pop.

    tube console vs "astro-sonic" solid state Magnavox

    Some friends' years ago had a Zenith beast of a console stereo that was hybrid. The receiver/preamplifier were tubes, and the power amp was SS. The thing was a garage blaster with good tone.
