I told my wife -"At least the tube amp actually DOES something - not like to froofroo pen or the rare pool table"

So what kind of amp is it?

Cool clip.  Does this mean my Acura might have a tube amp buried in it somewhere?  Nah, it sounds horrid.   Quad KT88's or something, maybe a Jolida?  Bill Baker would know for sure.

You guys are good.  :thumb:

I picked up on the KT-88s but missed the knobs and was thinking it was only a power amp.

That add is a pretty disparaging commentary on our hobby, or at least tubes...
