You must be joking! it's 2012 and at over a weekend the end of May, as we have done since 2006, my fellow DIY valve amp hobbyists will be having our six monthly meeting in a local pub function room. We have a great time and we certainly DONT believe in exotic wires or any of the other foolery that goes with the outer limits of this hobby. This is how I'll be dressing for the occasion.
