I need something with a lot more glowing tubes on it. My current amp, one big hot 6AS7 isn't enough. I feel the need for a big push-pull, 3 stage, regulator tubes, lots of heat. brrrrrrrr !

I got this one in one of the systems, only for mid/high as the system is biamplified. It makes the most delicious sound I know with high efficiency speakers, and it can heat your house too...I am affraid to run it in summer, it makes so much heat.

that looks good, but somedays it gets reeeeaaally cold. We need more tubes. Or maybe its solid state - What IS the hottest running amplifier ?
perhaps this amount of tubes then...

Last night I forgot to unplug my soldering iron so when I awoke this morning the house felt a little warmer.
There are times of the year when the Pass Aleph 4 does its stuff warming up those heatsinks and delivery beautiful sound.

we gotta see this soldering iron !
I have a few 21" CRT monitors. They were really expensive back when they were on the market, but they were really cheap just a few years ago when I got them. I quit using them because I got these flat-screen things that also came down in price, and work well and take less power, but they don't quite keep me warm like the CRT's used to...
If whether it's plugged in or not makes a difference in the house temperature, perhaps he should check to see if his thermostat is working.we gotta see this soldering iron !

Sorry if I drifted into a bit of sensual poetry. It all starts with a soldering iron.
soft metal gives of itself
heat of the iron
smoke curls upwards

Ok, I'm stretching it a little but that line is kinda beautiful.
Going back to coldness. Madrid is not that cold, the 'natural smoke' or 'human vapour' as we speak started only a couple of days ago. It rarely snows. Living in Canada must be tough in winter.

Here we generally don't need or want added heat, even in winter. This house has central heat, but I would guess it's been used about 10 days in the 35 years I have lived here.
Today is the second day this season that I could turn OFF my AC. Still at about 3PM the temperature inside the house got up to 82, so..... I had to do it....chill out time.
I took these pictures and sent them to Sherri who is in West Virginia. The temp there last night was in the 20's. She was not amused, and reminded me that I will be there too in a few days.

While I just saw a photo of a snow-storm in the upper Great Lakes area, winter has been avoiding the Lower Great Lakes area. Sunday the temperature stayed between 50F and 58F (10C & 13C) for over 20 hours. The only snow so far has been on car windshields and porch roofs. The TV weather people are hoping for a winter storm just before Christmas.
Currently -18 C, with a wind chill of -25 C. And there's snow on the ground .... must be winter.

it's not just cold, but it gets dark early here too. But after seeing tubelab in the pool I can see that some glowing tubes just won't cut the mustard. We're gonna have to move South man !!!!
