Strange how many used valves measure NOS?
just a shame that I prefer US of A valves over the soupy examples of Brimars and Mullards I have tried.Simon74 (System | Threads | Answers)Send me a list of any of those soupy Mullards you might like to sell.

Please explain amplifier output impedance
To bring this discussion back around to my original question, when a reviewer states that a particular loudspeaker would likely work best with a low output impedance amplifier, should one assume (based on comments made earlier in this thread), tha...
