Still have some in the fridge and I will admit that I'm absolutely terrified to drink it.

Zero Mattnog posts since 2023. What a sad state of affairs. I was just reminded that I failed to make a batch again and I am disappoint in myself. Anybody else make some or still have some in the back of the fridge? Is a month enough time for it to gel?

It has been a while since I bought them, but the Russian Mullards worked very nicely in the T2, to the point where the benefits of pricier NOS tubes were marginal.

A small factual statement. I saw in the thread that forum members are also using inexpensive EL34 models, like the Tung-Sol. There are photos of German RFTs and Russian Mullards. I currently own all of the listed quartets. When listening, I noticed that the Mullards (2015) sound significantly better.

^^^ Man, does that bring back memories from my younger days! Oldest brother was a big Classic Rock, Prog, and Southern Rock fan. This was a staple.... On a related note, I recently found and put on my phone playlist for the car Black Oak Arkansas' "Jim Dandy" -- what a fun blast from the past that was too!

Non-tiny prices. They might be good for a gag gift, e.g., The Notorious B.I.G. - Big Poppa.

Maybe the biggest one album wonders ever? Debut is just an absolute, genre-defining classic. Then money, drugs etc. "Love Spreads" is a great song off #2 but the rest of it ...

RIP Stone Roses bassist Gary 'Mani' Mounfield. I did love me some SR in the 90s. They an amazing fusion of madchester, shoegaze and post acid house weirdness.

Watch 'til towards the end to understand why I find this relatable.

Physical CD Mahler was right to transcribe this quartet into a symphony (Death and The Maiden). Its been a favorite CD of mine for years.

Sorry I missed this, I was out of town last weekend for a family wedding. Way less fun.

Last night's dinner, 2 of the 4 links from this package below; delicious! Got from my semi-annual pilgrimage to a store in NH. One new thing for me to try now: Ground Yak. The proprietor said it's a recent add, but it's been pretty popular.

The golden orb thing that created an electrostatic field to “tune” the room was the pinnacle of oiliness I thought…I still feel dirty after being in the room with it. I think it was on the 6th floor too 😂

Take Ten by Paul Desmond (1963) https://album.link/t5m4fcv3fkmcw Example: What do you after Take Five? Take Ten, of course. Lovely set of tracks - with Gene Cherico, Connie Kay, and Jim Hall on the team. Album was not on my radar until now.
