Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms
With all these "Sirs," being bantered about, I feel like I'm in season one of Law and Order and listening to Michael Moriarty trying to face down a criminal.Anyone else ever get that feeling? 
Tubes for my Mac's 275....NOS or just used?
NOS is supposed to mean New Old Stock, new meaning zero hours (brand new).There are tubes that fit this description but not as many as advertised. Many sold as NOS are in fact used tubes. That being said, used tubes that test new are typically low...
