A friend sold some EL34's to a Hi-Fi nut who said they had to be Mullard as they were the only ones ever made that were "sonically perfect". Nuts to mebut each to there own.

Good post Gary.
The thing is who takes a Quad II out and shows their pals the old resistors? Same as in an engine or chassis of a car.
Call me what you like but I don't pander to these folk that know nothing and demand you do a job in a certain way....... they are shown the door along with a few choice words.
I know VB is a brilliant engineer and his work is 100% but I'm sorry I really feel that ones engineering should never be compromised by the demands of Audiofools that have their heads stuffed with cotton wool. Fit decent components and don't fudge the job, if they don't like it refuse to do the work.
