Thanks for the join / New Tube Audio guy
« on: 22 May 2022, 11:18 pm »
Thank you folks for the acceptance.  I am getting back into audio after many years.   Bought a Willsenton R8 so I can do a lot of learning and experimenting with Tubes.   

I will have a lot of Questions and need for advice.  I hope I do not ask too much of the usual questions.  Also looking to buy some gear...

..i guess we all are. It is addictive.

Peace to all

Appreciate the community, one I have been reading in the background.  I have learned so much from so many here.  You folks are very knowledgeable and helpful.

I am trying to go from "zero" to some useable knowledge of the audiophile world.   I am new to tubes, (but I am not young)  I just never had the time to figure this all out and I never understood the world beyond consumer audio, yet I  always had a feeling it was "not right"....that  there was something better.   Shout out to Clayton Shaw who actually answered the phone at Spatial as I was trying to get some knowledge on open baffle speakers (heard his at the Pacific Audio Fest in Seattle).  And Jim at Valvesnmore.com for the great Sylvania and Mullard took recommends.  wow.  Here to learn, and maybe make some purchases in time.   :D
