    1500 hours isn't bad for reasonably priced current production tubes! I dig the new Tung Sol stuff. My amp has a pair of JJ 6L6 currently and I've been considering picking up a pair of the Tung Sol KT66 for it. Having the known good pulled tubes will let you know if you wore out one of the...

    I've had tubes outlast capacitors... but yes tubes generally need more babying :P My new strings came Sat but I was out of town... I'm off tomorrow so I think I put them on tonight :) These are on the cheaper side @ $131 per set... almost makes me want to stick to guitars!!!

    Indeed! Good information. The room in question is barely 7 foot x 10 foot once I built a 'room inside a room' (5 layers of drywall, 6 inches of empty space and a course of R13 between me and the rest of the house). Between the M3-6 and M3-8 there are only 2dB difference in the LF range...

    Thanks... been my #1 mod going on 2 years. Yup! I drink about 16oz of coffee while getting ready, then another 16oz in that for at the shop. I work from home for a couple clients most the time, but 2 days a week I work on site here Corvette, Classic, Muscle Car Restoration, Repair And Sales...

    I've been contemplating the M-Audio M3-6 for my set up... the M3-8 would be far too much for my tiny music room.

    Decided to pass on the 65 Sportster (too much bike for my needs), I dropped it and his 2010 Heritage Softail on craigslist for him today. Not trying to be spammy, just posting them in case anyone is looking... 1965 Harley Davidson Sportster 2010 Harley Davidson Heritage Softail FLSTC

    He has a shop in his garage... does everything himself, leather work too. He is a stainless steel fabricator by trade, commercial kitchen hoods and such. Here is his FB page Marshall Hall Knives I will definitely reach out to him if I'm ever shopping for another!

    Thanks Marshall put them on a custom his/hers set of chef knives too. The little one is scaled down to match my wife's hand.

    The father of the guy I bought my first bike from (owned the local RV dealership) rode a light blue Vespa. He was always the first 2 wheeler on the roads when the weather broke... last to put it away in the fall too. Used it rain or shine! I always see scooters as being bad ... because of him :)

    Any Riders?

    Got another piece of my restro yesterday.... complete front forks + triple trees from a 1972 Yamaha AT2... all AT and CT models up to 1973 are the same (same frames different engines). For 72-73 they used aluminum instead of steel for the lower fork sliders like the 69-71... so in replacing my...

    Any Riders?

    Me either, but my first street bike rides were on an AMF era Sportster. I remember getting laughed at in the 80s because I thought the new Yamaha Virago was the nicest Harley I'd seen or ridden :P The one I'm getting suits me with the sport seat and drag bars. If fit wasn't so cheap, I'd...

    Any Riders?

    I use to myself... I own currently, but haven't ridden in years. My last bike was a 78 KZ400 I got from a friend when my Norton 850 Commando decided to no longer stay in gear... that had to be in the early 90s! I relocated and just never got around to picking up another bike. me too, I hope...

    I dig technology and have an open mind for handling the new stuff (I'm 2 years shy of 50 myself). For my creative outlet though... I'll stick with vacuum tubes and analog signal paths... or acoustics :) That said, my all time favorite tune for the last few years is a Mike Sheridan remix (the...

    Any Riders?

    I'm in the middle of turning a 71 Yamaha CT1 175 into a street worthy restromod. Serious race porting, over sized reed block, expansion chamber exhaust, 12v conversion, close ratio gears... with be a 30+ HP 180lbs back road screamer. This is the ghost I started with but I'm currently...

    Did Santa bring anyone music gear? Nothing for me, but I bought my almost one year old daughter a little digital piano and some hand drums.

    Call around... katskins are good stuff, I've used Home which is similar in price and quality. There are lots of custom shops around with the skills to install new covers. FYI: I'm the computer tech / web guy for the shop... although I do help with occasional grunt work when I'm not too busy.
