[BC] Old AM rigs...

[DANA PUOPOLO]

I know someone who is building a recording studio that's 100% tube. He has old
Altec mike preamps, Ampex tape decks, Western Electric mixers, etc. I gave him
an old Collins mono audio console and an old Gates yard a while back.

 Many audiophiles swear that solid-state amps don't sound as good as tube
amps.
 There is a hot market for old tube amps from the 1960s.
