Big SET

[BTH K10A]

The anode on this amp glows so bright it comes with a smoked glass screen.

The GM100 has got to be the mother of all valves :D

[The Grand Wazoo]

For big valves, you need to see the one on this video. Wind it forwards to about 18 minutes into the clip - 250 kilowatts!!

Yes, I've posted on the Line Magnetic range previoulsy but apparently you can't buy the 212 amp in europe as it won't meet CE regs

Heard a few 4212 amps, also 833. A friend has some GM100's, but hasn't as yet build an amp with them. He went to VSAC a few years ago, there were GM100 amps there, which were switched on from the doorway with a long broom handle!

[lurcher]

211, some 212's, gm100, and a ecc83 for comparison (and a beer bottle).

Here's the Magma at Whittlebury a couple of years back - shot by me. But shaky but hey.

Have a look at Josh Stippich's amps (Electronluv). http://www.6moons.com/industryfeatures/vsac03/vsac_3.html

Looks like something designed by Jules Verne and used by Dr. Frankenstein!

[lurcher]

Yep, those were the amps turned on by a stick. And powered from two different mains sockets.

Having the turntable positioned in front of two bass horns doesn't seem like a good idea. :rolleyes:

[Paul Lange]

I would recommend installing a toilet as the listening seat. When that bass hits you.... Instant evacuation.

Everything in the room is in front of the bass horns, give the bloke a break he doesn't really have much option. :) Seeing pics like that makes me remember I am just playing at it, really.

Ummmm, they look like they were designed by Terry Gilliam :)

He could have placed the TT at the back of the room where there would be a node. Or seeing as how he went to all the trouble of building the bass horns, he could have built a separate room for the TT and records.

At least they would blow the dust off.

You have to admire the guy's commitment to the hobby.

Just wondering how he slipped these babies into the house without his wife noticing? Any woman that can live with speaks that size is my kind of woman :)

Also in which branch of Richer Sounds can I audition a pair?

[Marco]

She likes a big horn… ;)

[walpurgis]

I'm just wondering how much that lot cost. There's some pricey gear there!

[pure sound]

The 30 ft horns running outside into the garden aren't clearly shown by that pic. :)

Imagine if you went to all that effort, sat down, switched on and it sounded crap?

Ah, that makes more sense (obviously I mean in our world, not the normal world!). I thought the mouths were too close to the wall.
BTW, how do you time align them? :scratch:

[Ali Tait]

The horns are telescopic. :lol:

Reminds me of the epic telescopes built by Sir William Herschel in the late 1700s.
