the 300B amplifier was overly complex
300B amplifier?
A friend just got one of the pre-amps (used and still cost more than my entire hifi). It is really nice.

This show is fascinating.
I would say only so much about the reliability that I heard it once from a filmmaker-staff, that the packets forgot to be fixed at the time of a departure on top of the bus. A Nagra tape-recorder was between them. Sure falls from the roof of the bus. It was picked up from the ground, it was dusted off. No damage happened in it.

The 12AX7s in that picture look different than any I have seen.
They are labeled "Billington Gold ECC83" which I think is a re-mark.
Any idea who the original manufacturer is ?

Yes, they are coming out with a 300B based PP monoblock rather prominently featured on the six moons site..
The chassis is up ended - if you look carefully you can actually see the 300B output tubes facing downwards in some of the pix.
The design seems terribly complicated to me. I have designed and manufactured a number of different PP 300B designs, and the oldest have now been running for more than 10yrs without issue. I can't imagine anything that complex will be all that reliable. Wonder how it sounds with all of that silicon in the signal path..

Thank you very much for sharing that link.
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. I've always loved their tape recorders and preamps. Top quality and killer looks.
Thank you very much for sharing that link.
I'll second that, a very interesting and thought provoking article. I admire the blend of science and art at Nagra clearly portrayed in the article. Classy stuff no question about that, regardless of whether or not I agree with their design philosophy..
