Bit of both - From '50s wireless sets to Sony PSP and all things in between

Sometimes I'll be accessing the forum with the PSP/WiFi in the shed, sometimes I'll pull up my rocking chair with my pipe and slippers, chuck another old telly on the fire and listen to the Light Programme on my Grundig valve radio

You can, a slow and fiddly job though. With websites, need to navigate around the screen (only a section of a site is displayed, wouldn't want to use it too often).

No mhku. Better than solid state amps, smoother sound IMHO. As long as they're made well. Valve microphony can a problem, and of course they age over time.

Like to see the valves glowing too

Don't know m8. Only bought it recently, still looking at sites to see what it's capable of apart from games. Just have a few URL's stored.
