More Valve Amp Porn

Thanks Rob. Very nice, almost therapeutic.

 

...or gently melting the HFN test record.

 

Had the camera out taking some pics of the new beastie yesterday evening...



35 sec exposure at F11

 

That's beautiful Gromit, but How did you and Rob get the blue "flames"?

 

By playing this



on infinite repeat?

 

I see you in a new light.

 

Dev - it may be a characterstic of the 6550's (KT88's seem to have a similar glow). Such a long shutter exposure does tend to bring out the blue though, they're not that vivid in real life. The pic was taken whilst the room was in almost complete darkness, bar a very small table lamp in the next room (with the connecting door open).

The EL84's on my KEL are just the lovely 'come home to a real fire' orange glow. Will try and take some pictures of the wee'un later.

 

...ah just wait till, you see my Trilogy 958's - phwoar! :mana:

will see if I can get some cheesecake shots tonight!



Great shot you got there Gromit!

 

Here's a pic of the baby one...



Not as much colour pyrotechnics as the A30, but rather sweet I think

 

Hybrid integrated amplifier with a single 6922 tube plate loaded to a dual set of FET's... 100 watts of sweet power!

Ok I admit it, was bored this evening...

 

Interesting effect Gromit!! Zoom whilst exposure?? ...

 

It is indeed GD - approx 8 sec exposure and 'pull' the zoom in. Didn't work as well as hoped as I've lost the SLR mount adaptor for my tripod (got the camera resting on a pile of books). As a result it's a bit jerky.

 

Hi,

New Audio Frontiers Monobloc reference 845




Stereo Supreme 300B

Very nice indeed Dean. An Italian take on Audio Note?

I'd like to see them glowing in the dark.

 

Hi Dev,

It looks that way.

Definitive audio, who do Kondo, are selling them. Also I'm sure Peter Qvortrup used to import these in the late 80s early 90s.

These are my current power amps - 40wpc OTL monoblocks from a small Chinese company, lovingly rebuilt and serviced by vintage experts Champ Audio here in the UK. Wonderful things!
