That would be me! Our new member basically wondered "what's so special about tubes," which engendered quit a discussion, as you can imagine! He's quite serious about investigating our hobby, and it would be great if someone could invite him along to hear some nice tube systems.

I am also from Silver Spring (mailing address) but live up in the Layhill/Glenmont area. If you would like to hear tube amplifiers, particularly DIY, I have a house full of them. Grover is a friend who helped get me interested in this back, say 25 years ago or so. I could definitely help you along the path of DIY tube amp or preamp construction, and answer any questions or help you with any problems you might have.

Welcome to the group Mr. Yeeterkeeter.
While we are DIY guys, and lots of us use tube amps, there is probably no better place to go to listen to them than David McGown's. He has been prolific in his builds and has a large assortment of completed amps on hand. In addition, his system is superb, one of the best in the club. so amplifier differences are readily discerned. Plus, David is a smart and hospitable guy. You'll really like the visit.
As they say (or used to say) on eBay, "Highly Recommended".
