Sean, I would love to get my hands on some of those obsolete "Alien" triodes! They just might have the mythical "Vapor Field" plates, and true "outer space" vacuum. Possibly even "Anti-Gravity Sonic Maximizers" that would transform my amp into a Single-Ended Godzilla from the 7th Parsec. That would really be cool. Why didn't they leave any of those old alien tubes laying around in their space lockers? :^)
Overtubing? Danger?
I like the sound of tube amps. When I was a kid, my family had one of the huge music consoles and I was always in amazement when the back was removed for maintenance and a whole city of tubes was revealed. Plus, it sounded fat and rich.
Today, I am trying to recapture that sound, but I wonder. What does a signal from a CD transport, with tubes, sent to a pre-amp, with tubes, sending a signal to an amp, with tubes due to the sound? Is more tube better or is it overkill?
