 KR> and such..  Well I've been off topic enough for one day =)  Oh'yah
 KR> would you know how hard it would be to convert a tube amp for a car?
                                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THAT would be over the top!  I'm not a real car-audio buff, but I
am quickly becoming a tube audio buff after buying a 2x40 watt
Golden Tube Audio amp last year. 
 KR> heh i seen some cars in CA&E with tube amps..  i think that would be
Remember the manufacturers?
 KR> cool if i had a deep enough pocket =) since i'm a fan of tube amps..
How about a tube-driven home theater system?  I not-too-
seriously considered getting an old tube amp to mess around
with for the rear channels...but with all the excitement
about tubes these days, I dunno if I could get a used amp
cheap enough.  I can't exactly afford to go out and buy
3 Cary monoblocks.  :^(  But it does make for a nice thought
if I win the lottery.  :^)  Throw in a powered sub or two 
to go boom-boom.  I think THIS system would be a blast.
 KR> but don't have one =( then again i can't afford a simple 2x30w tube
 KR> amp.. why is something on a older design so much more expensive..
Cause the neat-stuff club says so!  Solid state amps I like
(BEL and little Pass) are two to three TIMES the cost of my
GTA. Same things with CD players:  the good ones aren't cheap. 
Actually, for the price of a good A/V receiver, Jolida can
get you into integrated tube amps.  We do have a local dealer,
but I haven't heard them on purpose because I'd probably want
to take one home for the bedroom system.
Have fun dreaming about that tube-powered car audio!
