did you raise the heater voltage or lower the grid voltage?

@natn0

lowered grid bias. 1kHz test signal and dummy load was used (it is tube amplifier).

Bloody hell.. that was an EL34.. Why in the world would you sizzle that out???? gosh

@rugheadrohit

i think its great for educational purpose ^^

if you can see it on youtube, fewer people have to try it out themselves. C'mon everyone secretly wanted to see this !!

THeXXXDB, today's equipment is complete crap. If you are truly versed in Hi Fi, you would know this already. I can cover 1200 screaming Elementary kids at a dance with a pair of Western Electric 65 watt tube amps and a pair of Peavey SP2. Don't tell me tubes are crap, SS could not even come close to this, with the exception of maybe early 1980's to mid 1970's SS amps.

That guy THeXXXDB is complete wrong, look at a scope and compare a tube with a mosfet Ampli, you would be supprised about the Mosfet produces, Iam 52 year old.

An other advance with tubes, wen they are defect, plugin a new one, you have to go to the a shop to let it repair, two weeks later hopefully you get it back, en deminisched the valeue because het has been soldered in haha.

Long live the tube, for big power they still need them. !

outdated 85 year old technology.......some of the new stuff thats is comming out is as good at 1/5 the price...i know all the stupid arguments about tubes...SPARE me i have been playing since i was 6...and i am 43...lke i said outdated....the only people who are still obsessed with tubes is hand radio monkeys and kids that dont know better about music and only repeat what they hear...

@Rikk303 well.. Really?

Trust me.. EL34's in India are quite a pain to find.. and cost a Bomb~ thats why i was a bit shocked..

[Rikk303]

@rugheadrohit It looked knackered to start with. Wasn't like killing a kitten you know. Kittens and 34s are readily available at all times. Just check your local Mewsic shop

Pretty much proves that the human race never walked on the moon.
