[QUOTE="LouisF, post: 819508, member: 20216"] I meant of course the lethal bite that valves/tubes have in the allure they seem to possess. I might have heard tubes before most of you (Ampdog definitely excluded) for when I as just about "knee high to 'coon" my dad bought a Philips "radiogram" because of his love of music, mostly but by far not exclusively opera, and I remember the many times I saw him listening to his records. At first the old Bakelite (I think they were made of) ones that could break when falling on a hard floor, 10" dia. and running at 78 r/min and later on the 10" and 12" LPs, made of vinyl and turning at 33 1/3 r/min. When listening to La Traviata he often followed a translation of the lyrics in a booklet I have to this day. However; I would be lying if I say I can remember how it sounded. [/QUOTE]
