Sorry for offtopic, but tubes involved
Awesome nixie clock!
Did you build that yourself? What particular Nixie's did you use?
I have 4x russian made IN-12A nixie's that I plan on making a clock with but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Yes, that post containing the very, very nice looking aluminum faced and wooden cased nixie clock is COMPLETELY off topic.
To rectify this egregious and flagrant flaunting of the rules, I will gladly dispose of the offending item for you. Please send the nixie clock to me immediately and I will get rid of it for you (please package it with lots of cushioning and mark it as "gift" for the customs officials).
And it will serve two purposes too... I noticed the article in the background mentioning, "Fire starting on the first floor". Disposing of it properly will protect you from fire that could happen from this nixie clock (don't worry, I am a professional).
Don't laugh folks, I am hoping that this will actually work one day.

NIce offtopic, Watchtfels666! I like tubes and nixies as well:
perys | perys - Nixies ? rajce.net (power clock)
perys | perys - Jadis-JA-30_mk2012 ? rajce.net (tube amp MkII - lowered hum below -90dB)

There are few pictures of spectra measurement added for Mk_2014 version /less NFB about -2,5db only and lower quiescent current of 6550s/:
(white is PCcard background)
- lower hum -85dB @50Hz, better than -100dB other freq.
- measurement @19+20kHz and @20kHz

Is there a Denon DCD-685 CD player? If so, it is worth to rebuilt.
You can replace its poor opamped analogue stage by tube based one, and the player will sound awesome. I did it many times, and recommend it for you. Here are some pictures:
Yeah DCD 685... Works good, just sometimes CD drawer get stuck, like is trying to open and after many times open/close will open or a "gentle" slap in chassis, the drawer opens
Nice work in your cd player, which tubes you are using? I can see in pcb SRPP.. (will you share the design) Can 6N1P or 6N6P do the job?
My Aikido, I like sound of it. Really its worth any cent I invest on it.
Makes music so rich and lifelike, especially classic rock when I listen.
Thanks

It's only print on PCB. My circuit is common cathode tied to the cathode follower. I'll share the circuit when I'll find the drawing. You can use (with some mods) the line stage from Klimo Merlin preamplifier also.
Yes, they can, but I dislike both. I used to replace 6N1P by 6CG7 and to replace 6N6P by 5670 or E182CC (Warning! Different pinout!). Replacing 6N6P by E288CC in my ukrainian monoblocks gave great sonic benefits.
I believe you. I'll post the pictures of my handmade tube preamplifier soon.
Thanks. Tube RIAA preamp inspired by Audio Research SP6 is the next piece on my workbench.
