A “Repeat Offender” a good thing….

January 26, 2012

Dave has become another member of the select crazed audio club here on Classic Tube Audio. Pictured his latest “Super Sub” project. MORE POWER … in his own words: “On the side I’ve been working on a “Tuba HT” horn sub-woofer with plans purchased from http://www.billfitzmaurice.com/.  It’s finally nearing completion!  It’s quite monstrous measuring 36x36x24 but having La Scalas and A-7′s in the house, I’ve successfully conditioned my folks to be accepting of large speakers. Dave I think your parents my be relocating you after you fire this up!… Pat~

“Cool Glow”

October 30, 2011

Just for your viewing pleasure… very cool

Top image is a pair of MV “Mercury Vapor Rectifiers”

Middle Image glow is caused by electron bombardment on the inside glass surface causing a fluorescent glow it has no effect on the operational performance of the tube. The tube is not “gassy”  gas in a tube has many other effects and usually shows as a pinkish glow

Bottom image is a pair of high power transmitter RF tubes under full output load (they run really hot!)

“Tubeology” coming soon!
