T.H.E. Show Newport Beach 2013 is underway and coverage will begin later today. I participated in the ribbon cutting ceremony with John Atkinson, Robert Harley and Dr. David Robinson wearing the GoPro camera so you could see the event from my perspective but the camera was accidentally set to 'still' and I didn't get the video.

Tube freaks got a dose of "valve porn" in Kevin Deal's Upscale Audio room. Deal has been roaming the world in search of NOS tubes and he put on display some of his treasures: musty old boxes filled with NOS (new old stock) tubes unearthed in former Soviet bloc country warehouses as well as a huge trove he discovered by chance recently in Paris.
