UPS delivered it yesterday. Chuck Rippel is a miracle worker. The thing
looks new, and I swear it hears stations [I mean like hers them
entertainment-quality] on a couple feet of wire, that my TS850S with a big
antenna can't even recognize exist. The future XYL commented on the audio;
says it sounds better than any other radio in the house. I agree. It
doesn't have the power of a pair of push-pull 6V6's, but it drives that
Klipsch bookshelf speaker through a matching transformer just fine indeed.
Then there's the one-pinkie-finger tuning.I could go on ad infinauseum, but
no amount of words could really express my satisfaction adequately. Chuck,
thank you! 73 de Brian KA9EGW
