Russ might be here as well in a few weeks

Have fun! Russ is the only amigo I met in person so far. I am sure to link up with Marty one day too...

and maybe me as well

I would love that...but only go to Cali rarely. Only 4 times ever, actually. I am in Europe.

You know you are welcome here anytime, Norman.

I know...and am very grateful for the open invitation!

Strange level of masochism - hating the product/producer on this level and on the other hand keeping it and so much enjoying or having “fun” with it at the same time..just my two cents...

Check out Love / Hate by Nine Black Alps at volume 11.

One of my fave rock albums.

People drink a lot today.

Only I was sober you cheeky chappie.

All - I replied only because it was light hearted rubbish

Some info here.

See the Interstage Tranny post. What's interesting is he rates 6A3 (doesn't mention the maker) above it, which I initially did. However, I changed my mind over time.

All bets are off if your VT-52 isn't exactly the same as the ones I have posted i.e. NOT Sylvania and NOT with the same internal construction (well, the later is the most important aspect, obviously).

There are higher voltage WE VT-52s on ebay at the moment for lotsa money.

It's well made and low microphony, much less than a KR PX4, say (dig). However, I am expecting the KR 300B RK to be low microphony, since it felt much better made than the PX4 in the hand.

Unfortunately, www.vt52.com is down.

there are not "high voltage" and "low voltage" VT52 tubes, the tube was designed to give the same output with a filament voltage anywhere between 6-8 volts. so they can be run at 6.3, 7.0, 7.5 or anywhere between 6 and 8 volts.

Yeah that's right I actually posted that elsewhere I only found out recently. Though what I read was different to what you have stated i.e. it simply said 6.3V on ground and 7V in air.

they were used in radios in military aircraft. When the aircraft was on the ground with its engines idling the generators produced 6.3V, as It become airborne and the RPMs increased the voltage from the generators increased to 7V. The output from the VT52 stays constant so the radio will work the same no matter if the plane is on the ground or in the air, or flying fast or slow.
