Portability of Tube Amps

My PL is the smaller form factor Prologue Classic (Think Prologue I and II.). I was thinking of building a modified casserole-carrier type tote out of Baltic birch ply and some heavy duty hinges……er…lol………seriously.

it could just fold out flat on top of the workbench.  Score some beater Heresys or Cornwalls that could be banana-plugged-in more or less instantly.  I could use the ancient Airport Express I’ve been using out there for a decade for streaming.  Not ideal but would definitely be listenable until I get my space back. 😐

LOL I’ve seen some Jim doozie tube units in old vehicles. ZERO suspension bouncing on the roads of yesteryear AND kept working..

Metal tube fellas, a LOT of the real portable stuff use to use metal not glass in mobile units.. Base camp that’s different BIGGER tubes better communication and BIGGER antenna!!!

Now it everywhere "The Waves" Tinfoil hats required (silk lined of course)... 440 hz remember guitarsam guys?..

He use to crack me up!! He was mobile alright.. His tubes were in need of a re-bias..:-)

Yea class Ds that you can carry with one hand and a cell phone. 50x2 and 100x1 watts. 55-120.00 usd. Will just BLAST. Cellphone for a head set.. speakers.. I use Infinity RS4B.. just BLAST.. in a solar hut I have right next to the res.

As much as I hate to say this, if looking for something a bit more portable, I would look into one of the Class D integrated amps. They will be lighter and most I am told can sound pretty good to excellent. 

If I was going to pick something to "tote around" I'd pick something lighter than a big iron tube amp. But that's me, you be you. 

Tubes used to be in warheads to… probably still are in Russia.

You can plan foi MC idiocy
Or not
Bankrupt
If an amp is mobile +
If not -
What in the name of Jaweh are you referring too?
OP????

Believe it or not, but tubes came before transistors, and for decades were in airplanes in combat and backpacks in the field. You wouldn't want to bang one around any more than you would want to throw a Mark Levinson or Krell down the stairs. Okay, bad example. McCormack. Threshold. Something actually sounds good.  

The PL is a good one to tote around. Save your Raven for home use. Good plan. 

Dehumidifier when not occupied might help, but don’t run it too dry either. Obviously no need to use it during listening.

“Marshall”

Yep.  Marshall or Peavey!
