Personal information:

I am the founding Senior Editor of VACUUM TUBE VALLEY magazine. I am also a longtime contributor to GLASS AUDIO, AUDIOXPRESS, and TUBE COLLECTOR magazines; and have written hundreds of articles about tube electronics.

I am the recipient of the 2004 Tube Collector's Association STOKES AWARD and the 1999 Antique Wireless Association GERALD F. J. TYNE AWARD for my writings about the early history of electronics, specifically vacuum tubes.

[edit] Request to use images

I am considering a change to a section of the article Valve sound. My proposed change may be found at User:Gerry Ashton/sandbox. I believe I could improve the change by using some of the images that you and John Atwood created for your article "The Cool Sound of Tubes" in IEEE spectrum (to which I subscribe). If you have the authority to do so, I'd like permission to use the images, preferably under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License or another license listed in Commons:Licensing#Acceptable_licenses

I'd also be interested in any constructive critisizm of my attempt. Also, my compute is equiped with speakers, in case you want to send derisive laughter.
