[Hallicrafters] Re: 6V6s

I find that the audio has a rich & textured midrange with the Russian 6v6s. I've noticed tighter 
focus from top to bottom. There is simply just a more detailed, punchy, lifelike, emotional 
sweet sound. Yes, there may be a hint of impertinence but oh that holographic 3D 
soundstage makes up for it. Perhaps my Tuktronix otherness bridge can quantify things (if I 
can figure out how to work it). Oops, never mind. I just checked and it's a positive otherness 
bridge.

ps - all the - er- bs above was taken from actual audiophile literature except for the otherness 
bridge part which was pulled out of my - er - buttocks. I know - too bad I can't put it back. I 
think I'll go listen to my -> obligtory on topic content <- SX-28A with unmatched RCA 6V6's 
now if my nurse will let me.
