Picked up some 40's NOS Sylvania 6SN7WGT brown base matched pairs last week and they're really bringing new life to my Freya+

That's amazing, but I sure am glad I don't pay your electric bill.

I have solar panels. The natural gas bills for heat in the winter are worse than the summer electric bills.That's amazing, but I sure am glad I don't pay your electric bill.

Me, too, but I'm too cheap to let that many tubes steal my net metered surplus.

Bit of an update on the PL Evo 400 Integrated.. it’s headed back to The Music Room this week for warranty repair as the V5 power tube socket continues to intermittently show a bad tube indicator on start up. It can typically be remedied by reseating the tube, but I’ve had a couple days where it’s taken more than 4-5 times to get it to work.
While I’m very disappointed that I’ll be out the system for a month or more, TMR continues to impress in the customer service department. They’re paying for shipping both ways and having it picked up at my house so I don’t have to transport it. They said they’ll likely replace the socket, but aren’t ruling out other issues. They assure me they’ll get it all sorted out so that’s really all I can ask.
It bums me out, though doesn’t surprise me, that someone likely traded the unit to them knowing it had this intermittent issue. But that’s the risk part of the buying used risk/reward proposition. Is what it is.
I’m keeping my eyes open for something to hold me over and then potentially use in a 2nd system. If anyone has an old integrated theyve been thinking about unloading let me know! Lol
