Rick,  Didn't you know that those 5AR4 tubes really rectify "Extra Best"?
       They are the hush hush secret to really pure DC, of course. Why
       they will make any tube amp sound the best you ever heard. How
       many can I sell you today?

       I didn't realize how rich I am until I saw all those tubes on my
       shelf.
