no connections at all!

Dear group,

I have made the most startling discovery! I've built an entire amp where no connections are made to any of the tubes!
It works beautifully.:nod: All the tubes merely lay about in a shoebox, with a volume control glued to the front of it!

As I predicted, all prior theory on tubes was incorrect! They don't need to be biased, or have voltages applied to them, or even be in sockets!!!! I really am smarter than all those dumb RCA engineers.
My research shows quite clearly that bias, coupling, the behavior of capacitors, and current flow are all myths.

note: I may do an upgrade later on and scotch tape the tubes to the bottom of the box, because they do roll around quite a bit...

Cheers!
