Tubes, glow and tube amps

The Bendix 6080WB is by far the most extreme tube I have… the heater elements are massive and produce a beautiful glow… Makes me feel like I’m peaking into the core of the earth…



Can’t resist including a picture of this one too…

Amazing to think that all this glow was replaced by transistors and then IC’s…

nah. My name here is in honor of a vacuum tube computer.

I’ve got my Bottlehead Crack + Speedball up and running. Just waiting for my ZMF VO to arrive. In the meantime, enjoying my HD600.

Thinking of selling this amp. Thought the lights out pic is as pretty as the amp itself!
Plus you can’t see the spaghetti of cables behind the gear

Wa3?! That’s an awesome amp. What are you thinking of switching to? The wa3 and Aeolus is a great combo

It’s a WA6. If you still have anything left once I sell this, I’ll probably be looking you up.

Just got new KR2A3 for my Woo amp. They are small I’m use to the huge EML 2A3 and 300b 2.5. I’d snap a glow pic but funny thing is you don’t get to see them glow.
