Don't these people know when to retire? Pink Floyd were one of my favourite bands, I first saw them in Hull, 1972 I think, and the last time 1994 at Earls Court, that is how I want to remember them, not as a poor tribute band.

I've also swopped out the Phillips 6189's for Psvane 12AU7-T's in my Yaqin, another nice improvement right from the off. These are new tubes, purchased some time ago, for use in my RTFLYS amp and give extra clarity, yet still keeping a lovely warmth to the sound.

@CN211276 If you've got a few hours to spare and really want to 'know' about ethernet cables (unshielded or shielded) go on the WhatsBest forum.
