Thanks all ... You would be very welcome steptoe...

I feel there is little to add.. Except that you, or any newbie to our group is more than welcome to come along, bring what ever kit you want or just come and see what the rest of us get up to
Thanks
Steve

Let me see if I can jog your memory : http://www.audio-talk.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=976&sid=ff1c02d60c0e27e7e830e23387133f03 The 18xb's look a bit high-power to my taste Steve - I think I'll pass on those. The 61's, well, I suppose I'm after the HiFi ones rather than the guitar ones - as I...

Now yr talking ! Let me see. The 61's , are they the Audiom 61's ? Some searching on those shows they are about 35Hz Fs so that suggests lower Qts than the guitar speakers I have, which is a good thing . I notice on one of the guitar forums someone saying they had somewhat floppy surrounds and had ...

Good enertainment so far mark, but you appear to be going in circles... I thought you where looking for a 'high quality' bass /upper bass solution, The difficult aspect around horn drivers, and what most people either miss or compromise on is the bottom end solution, and i can see where your difficu...

Very good paul and and a good choice of valves too, irs worth the pain squeezing it all in.. Those old mazda's 35 vt idh would have done the trick,
But the 10 is a safe bet but with a littel more work

Re: PX4 vs 2A3

[quote="Alex Kitic"] and while I would be more than happy to use PX4 and PX25 instead, those are virtually extinct. As far as contemporary production goes, I tend to consider those tubes as a kind of their own, something new and maybe worthwhile: I do not believe in true replicas.[/quote I...

Hi Paul, Your AD1 could be French or Deutch made as the German Philips-Valvo made have a different shape. Is there a factory code on the tube? Could your mystery tube be a Tungsram P15/250 (an AD1 with 4 pins socket) like the one on the picture? Is there any marking? Looking at your picture, there ...
