Here's one of my rather-industrial-looking Atma-Sphere M-60s.


This was a Mk.2.3 but is now a (current-version) 3.1.  This was using just one Tung-Sol round-plate 6SN7GT with the Chinese originals in the other 3 spots.  I'm now using a gain-reduction plug to replace V2 (for a Voltage-gain reduction of about 12dB) and TSRPs in the other 3 positions.  Have ordered 2-dozen 6N13S/6AS7G output tubes from Russia; we'll see how that goes.

Jeffery,

You have enough power from the M-60's with the 5A's?

Nice picture BTW.

Nice, fellas, keep 'em coming.  Always liked the look and sound of the Mapletree.  Pete Riggle uses one in his system so it's gotta be good!

I actually do have some tube stuff, a hybrid power amp and a tube preamp:

AVA 550 Power Amp

Jeffery,

You have enough power from the M-60's with the 5A's? Yes; plenty.  The music nevers sounds clipped or compressed.

Nice picture BTW. TYVM.

Definitely some nice pics here of glowing tubes   Are you guys using a tripod to hold your cameras steady during the long exposures?  I've got a Nikon D40 and I can never hold the camera still enough for decent night shots.

Are you guys using a tripod to hold your cameras steady during the long exposures?  I've got a Nikon D40 and I can never hold the camera still enough for decent night shots.

A tripod would be ideal for some of the unusual lighting situations seen here. If you don't have a tripod, you can set the D40 on a table, or any other solid surface. Also, use the delayed timer setting. That way, you won't be shaking the camera when the shutter opens.

Here's my highly modified Adcom GFA 555II:  The Franken-Adcom









It was converted to a tube-hybrid by Lazarus Audio of So. Cal over 15 years ago, then resored by Chris Ready (ReadyTech) in Pennsylvania a few years ago.  Those are Orange-Globe Amperex 6JD8's.

Here are my Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 Sig and SFP-1 Sig after various upgrades.  The last by Chris Johnson of Parts Connexion.






The SFL-1 uses a 12AT7A and the SFP-1 uses a pair of 6DJ8's and a pair of 12AT7A's

Both sound very sweet and are dead quiet.
