What exactly am I exporting?

I had to jump through a bunch of hoops to get this list of options for an export.... enjoy!

lucy has left the building.

see ya on the other side pup.

and so it begins....

.
the move from Memphis... from the South... from soul food and soul music... to upstate New York... around the corner from Woodstock... to what kind of food?  what kind of music?   I dunno... I am of course hoping that enough hippies stayed from the '69 music festival to now have some good local veggie cuisine and free-thinking improvisational bands.... but who knows?  (man, I hope it is not the land of folk music! - I'll fall asleep in my chair..)

anyway... the loading of my precious hifi parts started today.... it looks like I need to hire stronger movers... this kid struggles with a single 18-cell horn!

and I have a few more items to get loaded...

peace,
me

The Eimac Guarantee...

I love classic valves built in the GE/RCA style as much as you guys do, but there is another level... nearly every tube we use and love has that silver getter inside... the brands are nearly limitless - RCA, Telefunken, GE, Western Electric, Valvo, Taylor, Sparton, Mullard, and on and on and on...     they are all great.. but *none* of them would make this claim:

they are flat out saying that you can overload the tubes!  other tubes would outgas, arc wildly, and then die.. (it is very entertaining to watch this, however!)... and the back lists these amazing specifications:

yeah... they rule... I have been running the same pair of 75tl's, sixteen hours a day, nearly every day, for nearly a decade now... total insanity.... and they were used when I got them!

peace,
me

Puzzle Part II

I hinted about this concept last July and John Chapman at Bent audio hit it out of the park.

I had some fun with the first one and thought the ability to A-B between two different settings would be cool so John stepped it up a notch.

 

It is a stereo unit with only 2 RCA Jacks.

 

This is just another prototype and for those of you who haven't figured it out, it is a remote controlled load resistor.  My initial use for it was to adjust the load a MC cartridge sees and it is a great educational tool!

Stay tuned.... we hope to have a finished unit and John will have boards available for OEM's to add this functionality to their devices.
