Just get at it through Google groups. Its more convenient than using a
newsreader since you can choose the threads you want to read.

Its not all 300B snobs in there....its a good place to discuss anything tube
related. Mostly home audio types, but there's a few that drop in to talk
guitar amp designs. Alt.guitar.amps is more geared toward guitar amps, but
its kind of been ruined by politics and spam....I still hang out there tho.

In this list I consider tube talk off topic because synths are not typically
associated with tubes. I know theres a few nutcases out there who build pure
tube synths, but still thats a drop in the bucket. You'll find more info in
the appropriate place.

Not try'n ta be a dick, just want to get you somewhere better to talk toobs.
