    More Diatone weirdness...or awesomeness depending on how you look at it I guess.

    THis is Diatone awesomeness (and, no, unfortunately, I don't have any of these...).

    Yes, that's the photo I was recalling, halo71; thanks. Not the exact same driver, apparently, but close enough for Government work...

    Thanks for posting that comment, Face... that's what I was thinking, too... but I wasn't 100% sure if they were still in "production" (I am guessing that the build rate is kind of low).

    Tannoy Westminsters, aren't they?

    Kind of get the picture of a mellow Klipsch Klipschorn on steorids.

    Does it appear that there's a lot of new wood/hardware on that speaker ?

    It'd be interesting to hear where gankspot (seller), from Greensboro, North Carolina, came across this beast.
    Noticed in the picture, sitting on the floor, were a couple of unidentified drivers. Wonder what brand those are (not from the Tannoy).
    Seller also has quite the varied bag of offerings, from Honda gas tanks to you name it.

    I see those drivers, I see sales like that all the time where the product for sell is either sitting on top of something that costs twice as much or something is in the back ground that costs the same. sorta like "I have this so you should buy my things"

    If I have the time tonight, I'm going to try some long exposure pictures with my tubes. I'm hoping the effect will be worth while, especially with a quad of =C= 6L6GC that have blue glass from electrons... :cool:

    ...yeah, the 6L6 family likes to glow. You will be successful. No 6L6s or EL34s or their kin at my house, though.

    My son's got a pretty good track record for photographing vacuum tubes with his DSLR. You've seen these all before - but I do like 'em so I'm stickin' 'em up again...

    This RCA 2A3 is as old as Great Aunt Effie, and she (the tube, not aunty) still sings very sweetly...

    Rooskie tubes in a Decware Zen...

    DSC_9987.jpg



    Finally, I actually did take this one - the filament brightness in thes two Sophia mesh plate "2A3s" (well, they're sold as 2A3s and work in 2A3 applications) don't look as dissimilar IRL as they do in this moderately long exposure... but the camera doesn't lie :-P
