wrote: Ultimately, and the stereo system I currently have, is a set of Bozak Concert Grands (from the late '70s) powered by six McInsosh 50s (with the Gold Lion 6L6s - now Svetlana 6L6s), a PAT5 preamp and some solid state Marantz stuff inbetween. I still have my Garrad Z-100 changer, but don't use it all that much. Had to build a solid state preamp for the cd changer. ========================================= Those 6L6s were some versatile tubes. My first ever novice ham rig had one as the final amp, circa 1957. There was a metal version of the 6L6 that was supposedly built to withstand the rigors of being launched in an antiaircraft shell. The function of the 6L6 was to act as a proximity fuse which would detonate the shell when the circuit detected that it was near a metalic object. What do they cost these days and where do you get them? |
