    You'll be fine. I'm still new around here as well. We'll learn together.

  PSA: Made-in-China 3pin XLR plugs sometimes just don't fit. Then again why am I surprised?

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. The cheap plugs were from a cheap XLR cable I bought while waiting for my cables to get back from repair. I'll have proper ones on my main ICs for sure.

  One of the worst feelings is when you receive tubes in their beautiful, pristine boxes then open them and they fucking implode. (The boxes)

    I mean... If the tube itself imploded it would probably be worse.

  I thought 12A*7 tubes were expensive.. Buying tubes for an AF is killing me! Definitely sticking to one set in the end.

    That's true. I ended up with RCA black wavy plate 2A3s, an Amperex 5AR4 and hopefully soon a WE396. Would love to try the Bendix 6385/2C51 but those seem impossible to find.

    This whole tube thing is really a blessing and a curse. Thankfully reading SBAF has brought my overall nervosa levels down quite a bit.

  (Obvious) tip: Don't sell your interconnects before you've actually sold your amp. Back to the $10 Insignia RCAs I go..

    Like the doc says. With medicine, one week; without medicine, seven days.
    
    I did read recently that Zinc lozenges might actually reduce symptoms and duration somewhat. Put it under the "Studies Show..." heading, I can't remember the source.
    
    Get well soon!

    @DigMe Being young and clueless I haven't; I do enjoy older movies but there are tons of great ones I miss out on. Currently have some Sinatra films at the top of the backlog (Pal Joey, From Here to Eternity. Von Ryan's Express, etc.) I got lucky and stumbled upon "Where Eagles Dare" while channel surfing.
    
    @Wilson @GoodEnoughGear will check those out for sure, thanks!

    The Great Escape is a good one. Definitely try to catch it sometime. Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Coburn. Really good.

  Upon reflection, I appreciate how great desktop audio is much cheaper to obtain than portable audio.. Wish I'd started earlier!

    Oh, hopefully good things :) we're alike then! I do like to poke my head back into the IEM/CIEM realm to check out the newest flavors, but right now it seems like there's a sort of technological ceiling that's preventing that segment from reaching new heights. Perfect time to explore the desktop world, I suppose!

    Definitely good things :) I agree, and many more options and routes than the portable realm. But it also turns out to be a bigger rabbit hole.

    Thanks Jinxy, actually considering putting the Pendant up for an interest check, as I may be able to rearrange my apartment to accommodate larger amps that I considered but couldn't justify before.
    
    I have a cousin in Detroit actually, westermac; seems like a cool place but the shortage of good Asian food worries me..

    Sorry I can't be of much help atm; hesitant to provide comparisons due to lack of experience w/ tube amps. I'm really hoping to get to a meet soon and hear more stuff! Also planning on NOS-ing out the tubes after Xmas and reporting back on that.
