And you thought you had seen it all?

So get a tube socket, glue it somewhere appropriate, and wire it to one of the spare drive connectors so you can energize the heater.

Hey, I wonder if someone engineered a surface-mount tube socket specifically for this application.

I'd consider it just for the looks of it, if it was cheap.

Hello Jan,

If those big white thingies are electrolytics the fun may not last very long.

Nah, not the same for those of us who still remember the warm glow and appearance of a real tube.

saw an Asus? board with one tube on it a couple of years ago.

How do you get stereo out of an EF86?

I really, sincerely doubt that.

The Aopen one has been around for a long time - at least a year. There should be a bunch of reviews on it. It does have a certain uniqueness about it. It kind of reminds me of an old, likely early 1970's Electrohome TV my parents owned - it had Toobz, transistors and IC's.

Fuck off ;-)

Trust me, you haven't seen anything until you've looked at this guy in the dark. It's better than a wood fire with a warm cup of cocoa.

I bet those more intricate projects, tube clocks and computers for example, are utterly amazing to look at.

Maybe so.

I keep finding myself thinking those tube amps with accessible valves must surely fail the safety regs ! Pull a tube out and poke around and you could get a nasty shock.

Not to mention temperature. Nothing touchable should be more than 40C above ambient.

So, what's Mom going to use to slice her bread on? ;-)

I suppose they publish it so that nobody gets nailed for leaking it when Al Q start making their own bombs. ;-) Once you get the pluto, the rest is almost trivial, albeit if you build the bomb the trivially easy way, your life expectancy decreases dramatically. ;-P

Nice to know I'm not alone in my Heath-Robinson methodology.

I gather this is another of those notorious "high-end audio innovations" but since I don't speak the lingo, the joke's fallen flat. Can some kind soul give us English monoglots the gist of it?
