Hi, I believe one is waiting for me for Fathers day. I hope so as I like to see / learn new things. Valve audio design is still part science and part art. I have learned over several years that design aids like PCs (which I certainly admit to using) are more like good guesses in extracting the best performance from tube gear. The science comes in now that we get far better components than in the past, the art in the fact that no two tubes ever act exactly the same. Worse tubes from one manufacturer making tubes will not be the same as from another manufacturer. Still lots of fun and rewarding.
