Lol! Literally 24 hours ago: “I’m going to wait a week!” I wouldn’t be able to wait either!

A true scholar and a gentleman! The only thing better than chatting on the forums is working directly together. Highly recommended!

Ah man, that is frustrating. Keep telling yourself that you'll just be getting the Aegis closer to when the tubes I sent you arrive. It will be a double Christmas!

Positive feedback? More like SUPER positive! We did a trade with some cash, and everything was smooth, easy, and professional.

Speaking of choosing tubes, I've got quite a few tubes I was using off and on with the Bigger Ben, and wondered if anyone had experience with them in the Nautilus (or even if they'd work based on the power in the Nautilus). Some have adapters, like the 6ar6 tubes, or the 6889. The bendix 6889...
