Poor old Xwing wants "lots of tubes" and cheap. Most every thing you guys have offered ain't cheap or have nearly as many tubes as a Cary V12. Cary has 12 EL34s, two EL84s and two 6922s. Used V12s, not "i" version have sold for around $2000. That is cheap for a 100wpc tube amp that you can switch on the fly to 50wpc pure triode. Want more? Cary sells monoblock 200wpc v12s. With only one V12i, my system looks like a little city when the lights go down, and sounds truely delightful.
What Tube Amp Looks Coolest?
What tube amps have the MOST tubes VISIBLE, lit up really cool-looking, so my room will look cool like a 1950's Frankenstein Movie?
Maybe some useless but cool-looking mirrors behind the tubes to multiply the Effect. (We could tell people it works by thought waves or some gullible-magnet idea like Mpingo discs utilize).
I would really like a mod which utilizes a small Jacob's Ladder or two. Why edit yourself? Have some fun!
I don't want to spend TOO much money either. However, more tubes, more glow, more sparks all are worth big jing to me, so have at it!
I believe tubes can sound great, because my Dad's old Bogen receiver from 1954 sounded good, except for the hum ;)
