Cheaptubeaudio has had a long history of advocating reasonably priced but excellent tube gears, particularly Singled-Ended Triodes. This Blog however covers a lot more than SET, and is not exclusively tube-related. Cheaptubeaudio prioritizes coverage of unusual and rare gears, particularly vintage ones, on which little info can be found on the internet.

New York Diary (20-18): Rehash! What are you Reading?
Whenever I research for my articles, particularly on more obscure things, I am astonished by websites that I don't know at all (and I thought I know them all) that only do rehash! So many sites are doing that - it's basically AI Bulletin Boards, with no humans behind (aside from a desire to make money)!
I do rehash too, but when I do that I do it for a reason. To promote products or people that I like; but I always put in a comment (often more) on why I am doing that. Ditto this post (and the last).
Klipsch La Scala AL5
I have not heard the most recent incarnations of Klipsch Classics. Aside from the official Klipsch forum, I have probably published the most on Klipsch. The La Scala is particularly close to my heart. I have never accomplished my dream of stacking 2 pairs (I harbor the extravagant hope that my colleague mrgoodosound can one day do that).
This HiFi News review of the Kilpsch La Scala AL5 is the best trade magazine Klipsch review that I have read in the last few years. Author David Price is someone I have always liked, from eons ago when he wrote for HiFi World. Some of these British writers honed their craft on very modest equipment but their hearts are in the right place.
This one is particularly interesting to me because it shows the back! The top part is now closed, so one cannot easily access the crossovers! I'd rather think we prefer the older versions, where we can easily change everything. Grant you, I am not a fan of the aftermarket mods, but it is reassuring that a backdoor is left open.
