Thanks for all the kind words. Truly. I felt embarrassed after posting. I didn't even want to see the responses for a few days, probably because I was raised in an old-school "don't talk about your problems" household where you didn't dare show weakness to anyone. But, you folks are uplifting. Thank you. This is getting almost comical but, I was hit in an auto accident on Sunday (which really set back my progress with my neck) and yesterday my A/C died in 112 degree weather. But, I can handle it. Hearing your stories about cancer and other tragedies makes me feel grateful that my share of problems in this world are small compared to yours. The owner of the A/C company I contacted actually knows who I am and wants me to build audio gear for him (which was the most bizarre coincidence ever) so I know I'm in good hands. What a small, crazy world. Good for you for breaking the cycle. All lives have ups and downs and there's NOTHING wrong with sharing and taking support. |

Christian, you were absolutely kind in helping me when I purchased a tube from you some time ago for my CMV 563 (the Tele we originally went for wasn't what I wanted so you replaced and sent something really cool like an Amperex -can't remember what it is exactly) which is a beauty in that mic. I recorded twin sisters with it yesterday and it just delivered with grace and truth.
All that to say that your personal philosophy has a real affect, appreciated by many.
May you and your lovely wife continue to see silver linings through difficult times; we are fortunate to know you, however distantly.
Cheers, Ross. ( Alice Springs , Central Australia)

Christian is sending me a Mullard and GE for my Soyuz 017. Let’s see if it makes any positive differences.

All the best to you and your wife Christian. Praying for you both.
Christian you have been an endless source of information, and a reliable, trusted source of awesome glowing glass. Even hanging in there with me patiently when I disappeared for a few months due to my own family health issues.

Got a Mullard and JAN in the mail from Christian. I've tied the JAN before and it's a little light on the bottom...The Mullard says Kodak - so maybe it was made for Kodak? No clue.
Anyway - check out the Mullard.
Soyuz 017 with Mullard --> BAE 1073 --> Sta-level --> BL modded Apollo AD.

Does the Mullard state KQDD/K? It might look like Kodak if it is smudged. Anyway, those are military tubes and quite good. When I get a choice I will listen to your clips. Thank you for posting!

Last night I got accidentally locked in a furniture store. (I slept on the floor) As a kid to discipline me, they'd put me in a circular room. And tell me to go stay in the corner. I tell ya'. No respect.  Chris |
