Nice...

 

[FredR]

10K will get you a pair Lee

 

[Gepetto]

Or perhaps go all the way to the Silver 700 pairs...

Probably doing alright in this economy.

 

[stetter]

Get the Silver 700s Lee, Think of the money you will save by not having to use your furnace to heat your house.

Lifetime warranty on the tubes too...

Lifetime warranty on the tubes too...

Whose lifetime?

 

[laatsch55]

Not a tubeguy....

 

[Gepetto]

Whose lifetime?

That could end up as a very short warranty

Live long and prosper Bob Carver.

Gee Bill, six KT120s?! And I've heard of DC restoration on color TVs but audio amps? Hmmm........

Pair of what?

I had a friend in southern Idaho who doubled up some Wurlitzer jukebox amps, that was pretty fun. He had a wall unit with a Zenith Cobramatic turntable feeding it as well. converted to 45 rpm. And his Crosley set was about as big as an old Norge refrigerator. He had some really neat stuff.

BTW Toobs gets no love because 'lytics crap out. Resistors quit and join the Establishment or whatever. Burnout.

 

[mr_rye89]

I dunno some of the soiled state gear is getting explode-y without new 'lytics. The tube stuff will sometimes red plate a bit before the meltdown lol

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

"Soiled State"?? I like it.

 

[J!m]

By product of no TP available perhaps?

Nearer to topic: there are tubes in my amplifiers, but they are not power tubes. Mosfets do that work.

 

[Bob Boyer]

Ah hell, they're just there for the color, Jim....

 

[J!m]

Ya can’t even see em! You have to peek through the top vents (you know; you had an SA-220)

I even added silicone o-rings to dampen the tubes (since they were free from work)
