Another film of my Philips EL6471. For displaying the music, a 12W tubeamplifier is connected, for I have no 1000W-loudspeaker. The EL6471 works in a load resistor. It is now modulated to full power, as you can watch the needle of the meter going over 250mA (the next to last mark, lower scale) at 3000V per tube. The peak dc-power handeld by both tubes rises up to 1800W, about 1200W should then flow into the load-resistor. It was thrilling to me, making this video, you don´t know if something goes off the next moment...
Music: the organ of Notre Dame de Paris, Pierre Cochereau

  • Could you, please, be so kind to record both Toccata und Fugue in d-moll in it's completeness?

  • @Vladislaw81

    The tubes are QB3,5/750, EL34, E80L, E80CC, DCG1/250, DCG4/1000 and 4152-01. You find further information, even the schematic, on the web. I won´t sell. Another video is planned, but at the moment I haven´t time doing it.

  • What are the two big tubes glowing on the top of the amp? Power supply?

  • They are the output-power tubes, the final stage

  • Whats the benefits of tube amps? 

  • The hair on my back stood up, got a little teary eyed. It's beautiful.

  • That's an excellent rendition of the Tocatta. Who recorded that?

  • It looks like it really wants to explode :D

  • Mother of all tube amplifiers !

  • Thats freaky lol but awesome!

  • Got to love those KV's and at 250ma's respect them! Thanks for the link as I have visions of my electrostatic speakers being driven by a a proper OTL amp.

  • the tubes looks like the musicians playing the note XD 

  • @histelek Thank you so much.

    So, I'm waiting for a full version of Toccata and Fugue d-moll. I hope one day you'll have the time for it.
