I've only got eight tubes in my main amp.  :( Guess that makes me a Tube-Loser-wanna-be. :duh:

But I've got an extra set of EL-83, so there's hope for me yet.  :wink:

Good. I'm glad I'm not the only tube-o-bitch in the outfit!  aa

9 of 'em here.  All in my 50 watt guitar amp.   :thumb:

Used to have 2 in my Foreplay preamp and 1 in my Scott Nixon tube DAC. . . both have long since been sold.

20 tubes in my system.

Modwright 9000ES - 2
Aesthetix Rhea      - 10
Aesthetix Calypso  -4
Moscode 401HR     -4

Two years ago I had a total of 28 tubes in my system when I owned a Cary V12R power amp.

I have an extensive stash of NOS & current production tubes.  Mostly 12AX7s and 6922s

Again mfsoa and I have a parallel.  The summer temps here in eastern WA can hit 115° F and will hover around 100° F for days on end.  I always have some decent SS gear in-house for just such occasions.  :thumb:

However, my current abode has central air conditioning that seems to be able to handle the heat load well with my Dyna amps.  The tube count went up by two outputs so it will be a test as nothing else I own holds a candle to the VAC amps sonically.
