I forget the model number but it was pretty freggin big. Took up lots of real estate in the cab of an '81 Silverado with a Cowboy Camper I know that much.85w/channel actually works pretty well with subs rated for 150w rms. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

This should make for an interesting conversation. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/popcorn.gif.32dd9e22fd77e77bc3c907062768fcd2.gif
I wasn't kidding about the tube-driven amateur gear, btw. Such creatures most assuredly exist.

Nah, never got the Novice. Went in as a Tech...think I got it the year or two before they finally dropped the Novice one altogether. Never could pass the 20wpm Morse test though...grr...oh well, doesn't matter now anyway now that it's 5wpm across the board //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
No tube based stuff here for that. Although I've worked on a friend's 3-500Z based amp...scary stuff when you're dealing with voltages that high, you really want to make sure capacitors are discharged first //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif One of those amps that are "rated" at 1.5kW PEP, but capable of double that without breaking a sweat //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Just as one could not fully describe the meaning of Zen in a few convienent paragraphs, one can not describe the audio enlightenment of vacuum tubes either in such a short space...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
I think there needs to be a thread in the home audio section, I know I've written some basic stuff about it in there before.
