Great video. Very informative. Thanks for taking the time to do it. I have some JJ KT88 (Slovakia) and I've listened to them compared to the GEC KT88, and they sound very close. JJ appear to have made a very good valve here.

Great video, and it's such a shame that music is being ruined by this loudness procedure. I only have a few CD's that sound great, and rest are average, because they don't care about dynamic range, and sound quality. Thanks for doing something about it.

A very good video. The Black Spur is one of my favourite roads. Good to see such responsible riding from you guys. So many bikes ride this road with no concern for safety, doing speeds of up to 200kph plus.

I really do enjoy watching your videos. I'm a big fan of valves, and to see the tests you are doing, really sheds some light on the capabilities of the various valves and amps. I like the equipment you use too, and one of those units for measuring the distortion etc would be very handy indeed. ...

Great version of this song. I had the Frank Mills version on a 45rpm back in the late 1970's, but I like the Gunter Noris version better. The way Gunter Noris arranges his music is just brilliant. Thanks for posting this track.

Great to see Letterman sticking up for Ricky. Ricky is who made The Golden Globes worth watching. A comic genius. I agree, he should be hired to host all these events. When are those who complain going to get a sense of humor?
