In the first part of this two-part blog post I talked about one of my first “up-close-and-personal” experiences with tube-based audio electronics – a home-built hybrid solid-state/tube electrostatic ...
Vacuum tube amplifiers just won’t go away. I am speaking more of audio vacuum tube amps than I am of microwave amps like magnetrons, klystrons, TWTs and the like. Most other audio gear is solid state ...
The Encore is Jens Ritter’s love letter to vintage tube amps and is a meticulously hand-wired 2x12 combo with mismatched speakers, and sapphire-encrusted control knobs ‘cos why not!? When you purchase ...
