That is what I'd call a "rectum-fryer"

Think a solid state sub would work? This will give anti-tube guys nightmares!

  • To whom more was given more will be required.
    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.

Oh Yes!   Big is better.  The colling fan is huge.

I installed it yesterday, I'm sure my system sounds great, I can't hear much of anything over the unending 120 db hum and fan noise. What I do hear is pure tube bliss! I think.  :scratch:

Here is a good picture of this type of tube. The DC comes out the bottom from an electrode in a pool of mercury.

The picture is from this website.

The hum is handy to have when you don't know the words.
