Is it possible to use a tube without a top-cap anode to make a plasma tweeter with?
(Such as the one described at http://www.plasmatweeter.de/eng_plasma.htm )
The GU-50 is a cheap powerful RF pentode without a top cap, and since the tweeters are basically big RF generators, will it work, or will the plasma arc straight to the other pins or interfere with the modulation drive? Surely an actual RF transmitter works in a similar way so it shouldn't be a problem, right?
