    Solid-state audio amplifier complexity vs valve/tube

    This posts aims to get opinions about why solid-state audio amplifier circuits are almost invariably much more complex than valve/tube amplifier circuits. One could think that, if a good tube circuit is just redone, susbtituting each tube by a transistor (common cathode by a common...

    Measure 500V DC with digital scope and 100:1 probe

    Hello everyone. As this is a safety issue, and I'm not sure, I would like to ask instead of experimenting. Most digital scopes state a maximum input voltage of 300 V RMS. I want to make some quick measurements on a live tube amp circuit and its power supply, which may go a little bit over that...

    I have a problem finding information on some tubed I have I have 6 big National Tubes NL-6989-NE The Tubes are new and because of their size I thought I could make some kind of cool display. The tube has a high voltage cap on the top and printed on the base along with the tube numbers is...
