Wanted: Preamp with NIXIE display...JER???

[orange]

Suggesting IV-17 Soviet VFDs

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Set-of-6-Russian-Multisegment-VFD-Tubes-IV-17-NOS-/300835595650

plus 2 more for an eight character display i.e.

TUN, P(1/2) MM/MC, AUX/CD with L(1</>2) [L1<2, L1>2]



To be added to an existing preamp so I can see what is running.

Sure, I could just get a DBX 400x and a phono pre, but where is the challenge?

Those are cool!

Nixie is noisy, not something you would want near a preamp, me thinks.

They are VFDs.

It's because you will understand the logic needed to make such a thing...
