Let’s see some Tube Glow!

@lightman1 That’s a gorgeous rack holding up the VTLs, too.

Not natural!?

They're fake 😉

Bite me, Ken

You want glow do ya?

Here're a pair of Tungar tubes in a low voltage high current DC power supply (for field coil drivers) in a Dave Slagle enabled design.

Ain't much...but they run hot

You need some old McIntosh amplifiers, son -- the tubes in the 1950s and 60s Mac amps ran comparatively cool (yes, even the outputs). I think this was a combination of Mac amps operating in Class B (higher efficiency) rather than AB, coupled (no pun intended) with their unique output autoformer design.

Just added to the rack this afternoon:



Prima Luna EVO 400 preamp.

I’ve been looking to buy one of these for years and years, could just never justify pulling the trigger.

Well, I finally took the plunge!

Fine example of my rock steady hands and amazing photography skills:

Man, the last time I heard one of those was down at Ted's place. That was when I unfortunately met Trey. My life hasn't been the same since. 😁

Wow, that was a long time ago...and a great Polkfest to boot! RIP, Ted. You are still missed.
