Old Soul

[Zen Mod]

speaking of 'Talian

listened today some Caruso recordings through Old Soul

shivers which 'Talian christened Iron transmitted, even Yank-made Ge couldn't spoil



starting to ask my self, which music should try first, when I put Russian Ge Biguns inside ......

 

[flocchini]

Caruso is a very nice test source

Hopefully Russian Ge share some of the same traits as Russian military tubes

 

[Zen Mod]

all Russian tubes are military ....

 

[flocchini]

redundancy on my part !!! my brain is slipping

 

[Zen Mod]

well, this well known piece certainly demanding enough - next week, sweating the Russians

Stravinsky The Rite of Spring // London Symphony Orchestra/Sir Simon Rattle - YouTube

 

[chede]

I would have recommended Shostakovich ...

 

[Zen Mod]

do not worry

he's on Program too, right after Rust Never Sleeps

 

[flocchini]

great test lps !!!
the Old Soul will truly get a workout - perfect

 

[myleftear]

I envy you!

 

[Zen Mod]

why?

by default, you got same bucket of fun as I did, when being born

just take care to not displace it

 

[myleftear]

Yes I know [emoji56]
Envy you for old soul of course (for the ZMyness it’s rather admiration but „das sagt man nicht“ )

 

[Zen Mod]

well, as always, ZM Knows Station!

(as my Bruder Generg taught me )

 

[Zen Mod]

Old Soul was (and still is) visiting one Tubehead Family, being tasked to supply pair of Tannoy 15"

Sole present dilemma of Head of Tubeheads is what to build - more Sugary Old Soul, or less sugary LuDEF

None of them being disgraced by SissySIT

methinks that's enough confirmation of Wakooness

ZM, Happy Camper, again avoided Public Disgrace, by hair

 

[flocchini]

"Sole present dilemma of Head of Tubeheads is what to build - more Sugary Old Soul, or less sugary LuDEF"

Only solution - build both

 

[Zen Mod]

it must be that Alexander The Great (not me, Macedonian ) was raised and taught by Italians



Universal dealing, as with Gordian's Knot

 

[flocchini]

Forgot to ask

Does Head of Tubeheads have Old Soul with 1T813B or 2N1009 or 2sA1943?

Could be more amps to build or at least a way to switch these out with connecting wires and if necessary resistor change

 

[Zen Mod]

2N1009

still need to make measurements with other types, as soon I get it back

 

[ElliotA]

I was thinking / wondering ZM - always a dangerous thing with me not knowing much

You were saying you would switch in and test the big Russian transistors, do you think it might work with the Japanese 2SB206 as well?

 

[Zen Mod]

certainly

even if it's wimpier by numbers, comparing to 2N1099 and 1T813, so all precautions of big heatsinks even more important

I plan to make measurements with 1T813 today

 

[ElliotA]

Great, if the 2SB206s I bought used on Yahoo auctions Japan work - I'm not quite sure what I'll get there, that was a bit unclear with Google translate - if you produced boards or a kit for the Old Soul I'd be keen to give it a go.

On the wimpier numbers, is that the power dissipation and the max operating temp that matter there? Good luck with today's measuring!
