New project advice

I haven't done a real DIY project in years, so I'm thinking of building the classic tri-friznated de-lactinated gismatron. Y'all remember those, with the deplenorized non-reversible tremi-pipe, plumbed into the grid drip.

I recently ran into a stash of NOS U-mac 606 tubes made by Eimac, all have nice pure white getters.

In addition to the original circuit, I plan on adding exactly 0 dB of neutral feedback, for that extra level of clarity.

I'm excited to get started on this project, but would appreciate advice. Anybody see where the 606 wouldn't be suitable for such a project?

As you probably know, the 606 is very orientation sensitive. If you mount it upside down it acts like a 909 which can lead to ear bleeds.

Don't forget to add a a turbo encabulator. Nothing sounds quite like em.

Urinated tungsten?

PS: Perhaps better topic for the brewery?

And an analog VU meter for that vintage look - to counteract the blinding blue LEDs everywhere else in your design.

Rather pissy stuff to work with.

Oops, I thought I did put it there. Sorry, my mistake. Please move it.

Thanks,

Gene,

I think you have forgooten to add that all the tube modules have to be linked with solid silver core wire to minimise the skin effect, covered in PTFE sleeve and run with a spacing of at least 3cm to minimise inter-tube crosstalk.

Bandwidth should also be at least DC to microwave frequencies

dont you need Flux capacitor with one of those?

Of course, I got one for my Kia mini van and noticed the performance boost immediately.

In general I think this is a great idea. I'm glad it's de-lactinated.  You might run into some resistance with a  lactating gismatron.

What he's building won't need capacitors....

is it gluten free? that seems to be all the rage these days.

Especially when you try to grease its nipples.

The design of the E-V Rear Axial softspeaker complements the design of the 606(/909).

Other scans: 1, 2.

Another Rearaxial page.

News to me: Crown Belchfire amplifier.

They should start clinical trials of the rearaxial speaker to treat constipation ,13 sub octaves could move mountains I bet

Don't waste your time with that project they already made a plugin version,
they even cloned the noise issues the original had
