A home hifi stereo set plays the album “The Song of Singing” by Chick Corea
What’s your unpopular vinyl or hifi opinion? I’ve been wrong about plenty in this hobby but the hill I’ll die on is that these Blue Note DMMs are actually great sounding pressings most of the time… affordable, and typically in great shape too. #vinyl #hifi #vacuumtubes
A mysterious wooden case from the 1960s. It is labeled “Box of Tubes $25.00.”
The mysterious box is opened to reveal no less than 100 electronics tubes in their original cartons: Westinghouse, RCA, Raytheon, and others…
An incredible find at the old neighborhood electronics store. I talked him down to $20 for the whole case! #vacuumtubes
Also, the Dynaco ST-70 got its final mod a few weeks ago and is now switchable between ultralinear pentode and triode push-pull. Been running it in the latter mode to great effect. #vacuumtubes

Playing with pentodes
Playing with pentodes: More microphonic than triodes but they still sound great. #tubes #valves #vacuumtubes #elecrontubes #triode #pentode #tone

John Fleming (1849-1945) - inventor of the first vacuum tube (diode) in 1904. Vacuum tubes were building blocks of the 1st generation of electronic computers (1946-1959) becoming obsolete with the invention of the transistor. #JohnFleming #VacuumTubes
