Very instructive Wayne.
In the late 50s, I built an Eico pre/power amp. 14 watts per channel! Point to point wiring, low noise tubes, all discrete components. No one was more surprised than I when I turned it on and it worked!

That might be really fun. It would be something I could actually assemble. I have big hands and old school soldering equipment and tools. Factory electronics have become so small that the tiny wires and connectors and circuitry make misery out of something that used to be fun.
I'm disassembling my Pi speakers so that a wood working shop can laminate them. They will be a dark midnight blue with a high gloss finish.

I think so too. I've heard about a lot of people having trouble streaming video from Netflix and so forth. I also read that Netflix by itself is taking up something like 15% of the internet traffic in peak hours.
When all this streaming drags down the net enough to interfere with normal commerce, the FCC is going to step in and change things.
Wayne says you sell tube amplifier kits. Do you have a web site? You guys have me curious now.

Something gofar99 wrote. I don't really remember the context anymore.
The main idea I was presenting was to rip discs to a server I want to build. Maybe he was thinking about the servers used by people who sell storage or stream from them to customers.
I think someone was talking about high definition music, much higher than CD quality and I expressed an interest in buying music by download that would be HD quality. The only downloads I had been aware of were mp3 quality, which is horrible.
I didn't realize you could buy high resolution music via the net. I certainly am not interested in streaming music or video. There are too many bugs in that fledgling industry.

Here's a nice little booklet about tubes:

Thought you could use a good laugh. Someone at AVS forum put this up:
