"I'm a-picking . . ."
"And I'm a-grinning!"I've often thought the same thing, but on the big things, the things that count, I guess I've been pretty lucky. I spent my misguided younger years trying to become some kind of self-fullfilling prophecy. I remember hearing the song "James Dean" on KSHE and then buying the "On The Border" LP because I thought that "too fast to live/too young to die" was an ideal to strive for.
But 40 years later, or there abouts, and I am still here.Anyway, I don't know what was up with those RCA VT231s from France. To begin with, I thought my new-to-me preamp had taken a crap. I don't really have a grasp on electrical theory, but I am assuming that it was not both of the tubes for one channel that went bad (TWICE!) it must have been one tube failing and then the other socket wasn't getting power? Anyway, I did not experiment to try to figure out if (TWICE!) I lost one tube or both tubes (TWICE!) for one channel, the experience made me nervous about screwing up my new-to-me preamp, so I just (TWICE!) put the pair of tubes that wasn't functioning in a box. Anyway, what I learned from that is that I won't buy tubes off Ebay anymore.
But other than that, things are good for me in the 6sn7 world. I hope all is well with you.
