[Amps] Western Electric

[Kim Elmore]

I once heard them derisively described as “audiophools.” I’ve seen some horrifically expensive audio gear whose specifications are rather mediocre compared to modern solid state gear. I enjoy vacuum tube gear as much as the next olde fahrt, but I also clearly appreciate its trade offs and limitations.
