And you, like so many purists, are just baltently FULL OF IT!. Having been a Steel Player for some 30 years, and having played with some of the bigger names in Country Music, and also having been an engineer, and having turned Knobs in some of the better studios in the nation, I can tell you that if you show up at one of my sessions to play Steel, and you aren't using a Peavey Session 400 amp, you can just turn around and go home.... Or maybe it is just that some of the other manufacturer that you are so proud of need to Mis-Engineer some of their stuff as badly as you would have us beleive Peavey has, because it sure works for Peavey in this case..

I am building one MW> for my home stereo. If you do not, do you know of anyone who You should find loads of old engineering books on tubes in many libraries. The primary places where tubes are still actively used are broadcast and industrial amplifiers outputting KW's of RF. Through 100 KW, many transmitters are 100% solid state these days. You might find it interesting to locate some old McIntosh manuals. Also, the same kind of 3 secondary winding distortion cancelling circuits used presently on some solid state distortion analyzers for 0.000x% THD plus full DC and ground isolation have been used on tube audio PA's, though at a couple orders of magnitude higher distortion levels. IMHO there's little reason to build a tube audio power amp, unless you're trying to replicate the defects of certain Fender guitar amps precisely. In most cases it's cheaper and better functionally to build a solid state amp with dramatically greater headroom. "Tube sound" can be created at lower levels requiring less maintenance and cheaper parts. I have an old tube amp which might be available if someone is really interested in a Mac clone.

Pick up a copy of Glass Audio, a bimonthly publication devoted to DYI tube gear. If you can't find it at a -good- book/mag store, contact Audio Amateur Publications, Inc. at 603-924-9464 for a sample and/or subscription. I also have a decent collection of schematics of vintage gear like the Marantz 8b, Williamsons, Dyna ST-70, Heath W-6 or A-9, and some more modern designs like AR classic 30, MFA Magnus, Sovtek MIG-100 etc., etc. The good news is there are LOTS of stable parts sources for tubes, xformers, and severly tweaky components like hand made caps, silver hex wound xformers and the like.

We? Who are you reffering to when you say we? I for one have no problem in discussing car audio. I install and sale car stereos to the "tune" of 0,000. a year, I'd say car stereo is a little more than just someones hobby. Since there is not an echo "Car Audio" then I think its fair to have discussion in this conference. --- PCBoard (R) v15.22/5 * Origin: Parabolic Denver, CO 1:104/523 (1:104/523) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 200 PRO AUDIO Ref: DAV00002 Date: 06/22/96 From: RICHARD WEBB Time: 08:42am \/To: TERRY SMITH (Read 2 times) Subj: Car Audio Hi Terry, Terry Smith wrote in a message to Michele Wilson...

I find that the autombile is the lousiest place to try to critically listen to music anyway. Lowest common denominator is fine for mixing, but the automobile is not a good listening environment no matter how you slice it. As I said to him, I've little interest in the autosound industry, or any of the goings on with it. I'mn more interested in copping a better sound for communications gear while on the road, as it's far more important to be able to communicate on the road than it is to me to have kicking stereo. TS> The latest craze or innovation also rarely matters as much as the TS> installed product base from the last ten plus years. This is true, also. Most folks, if their vehicle doesn't have what they want, just go grab a tape deck or in-dash cd player and slap it in, if that. HIgh-end car audio is just high bucks, as far as I can tell.
