^^^^^^^^ Very nice John!



Here's my system:



Specs:
Vintage iPhone 8 purchased new in 2017 at the T-Mobile store
Not pictured: cheap bluetooth headphones and 5 year old bluetooth speaker

As long as it plays the tunes, that's all that matters. However, the price differential between cheap and decent earbuds is not a big jump

^^^I'm currently running a quad of EL34s and am looking to roll in some KT88s. Haven't bought tubes in a few years and they've skyrocketed in price.

88s should be better for rock and bass slam. Gold Lion or Psvane are probably the way to go with new production. Don’t think you’re getting into a quad of NOS for less than 2K

Stock KT88s came with the amp (Primaluna ProLogue 2), but one futzed out so I rolled in EL34s from a pair of monoblocks I have. I love the midrange of EL34s, but yeah, the 88s are definitely bigger and beefier. I doubt there's a quad of NOS 88s in my future, however.

Lately I've been on a Todd Snider kick and am currently playing his album Agnostic Hymns and Stoner Fables here at work. I like the first and last tracks in particular.

I'm sure a lot of folks at this forum know Todd better than I do. I've known about him for a long time but haven't really sought out his body of work until recently.

Here's a song is from his Peace Love And Anarchy album that has a bit of a DBT vibe to it, in my opinion - maybe just because it's a rock band song instead of solo acoustic guitar.

[Clams]

Lately: lotsa Sturgill, lotsa Childers, some Springsteen and some DBT Decoration day. And also that new Jay Som record and plus I discovered a new spotify playlist called Back Porch.

Damn! Helluva setup there, but you forgot to mention the Mustang Number Two on the wall.

If you like Tool, you will like this. If you don't like Tool, this isn't going to change your mind.

What if I like Tool, but hate the album cover?
