It was always a pleasure to read thoughts on the neo-retro horn systems raising in popularity, cheap tube audio, And its many contributors. Not many sites could bridge the gap between makers, enthusiasts and readers like Dr. John could.

Yes, I was saddened to read about his passing
Are you and other contributors going to keep it running?

@gaspasser I think E Lo may keep writing, I see he has some articles in draft status

For me, John suggested many times I start my own site. I thought about it, I have a lot (I mean a lot) to compile, but I’m not in a stage of life right now where I could give it the attention it deserves

@Gazny it's a RGN1500, cold cathode rectifier. the lack of a filament in the construction makes them sound unusually clear. https://www.radiomuseum.org/tubes/tube_rgn1500.html

I see it now, just reread Antons article on his Energophone.
So how is the supply for the field coils going?

The field supplies are all done. I need some custom transformers to build the amp and Bluetooth power supply

Hey man, I just tried this. Have not become buff af. teh fug?

@SofaSamuraiX I will write a guide

Patricia Barberism for this group.

and here I thought we were talking about the cartoon elephant

wasn't there just recently a big movie about this architectural style?

My home theater sub died. In a stunning and unexpected move I am simply getting another one rather than using it as an excuse to replace and upgrade the entire system. This is taking much fortitude and probably won't last the entire year.

I like the idea. It is not going to work. At least one spare Audio Technica M50X. That headphone is so much value for money.

All my money is going to travel this year. 30K miles of flights booked for 2025 already.

It’s okay, I’d give it a 7/10. A little to V shaped for my tastes. A good tube amp helps.

Portillo's hot dogs is what sets it apart from the competition

Tons of foods to blow up your toilet.

when do we get directly heated guitar sounds

Guitars are sent via mail nowadays?

I am a toon noob but when looking for tubes This guy seemed competent with good prices:

Has a French long life version and an equivalent from Tungsram called PV 200 / 600 on stock

I fixed it :) https://i.imgur.com/TtQZDfc.jpeg

Lots of glue?

But for real, what a gorgeous tube.

Now Trump. No more 80 year old presidents, please.

Yes, this is getting ridiculous. Neither of them are fit for a puppet position of power

Nobody ever thought of Turdeau or Bornis as world leaders, that is something only the US has aspired to. Historically anyway, for better or for worse.

The Hick From French Lick?

They call it “hick hop.”

New acquisition? Nice…

Sansui receiver? What phones?

Welcome to 'merica

@Biodegraded it must be a Sansui 8080 and SS-100

yup, human beings are solar-powered. thanks @dubharmonic

Downside of FL, city folk are mostly angry about something and ready to bust a cap into someone. At least you get the nice sunsets on the beach.

Amen and Godspeed!

We never left.

I apologize in advance for my forthrightness, so please tell me i'm a dick, but it does seem from the cheap seats like the same thrill of the hunt, but in a different venue.

ok lol

Battle ready

Gorgeous. The combination of the trem system and the pickups gives them such a unique tone.

Nice. Congrats!
