Does this plug into an 8 pin DIP socket?

What if you want a differential balanced input?

Got a working schematic of a dual polarity regulated high voltage PSU?? :green:
Have you tried actually building this and listening to it, or are we playing simulation games?
Having tried quite a few variations of the hybrid designs - both in standard and opamp configurations, I've never been less than disappointed by the result when starting to compare to a full-tube design. And this even though many hybrids measure out way better than full-tube counterparts.
Listen to the cheap TLA stuff - they've worked a lot with these architectures, and is (imho) about as good as it gets with the hybrid path..
But I'll agree that it looks tempting from simulations.. :razz:

Maybe I need my ears tested, because it sure sounds good to me. What are you guys listening for anyway. It's easy to fall in love with the sound of your prefered topology. 99% of all modern tube gear benefit from solidstate in some way or another, even if it's in the power supply and it's all in the signal path. I simulate, I build, I listen and then I tweak to desired taste.

hey gang, did you know that analag once built an entire city... underwater... with his bare hands?

Was the city powered by hot air?

OK I keep quiet as long as I can. Now I can´t anymore.
Come on guys. I know that Analag seems to be a little arrogant at first when he came here but all he has been doing here is sharing his own circuits. In fact I can list what he shared already:
A tube opamp
A hybrid tube stage
Another hybrid tube stage
A hybrid mic preamp
Another hybrid micpreamp
A transformerless Tube mic pre for hot mics
A varyMu compressor
A optical Tube compressor
You may find those circuits are not genious as he think it is, but I don´t see the big problem with all this.
So, as you see, I don´t mean to be a sucker, but this guy has been here for a month, and it seems that he is really sharing all he can. No offense of any type meant to TK or solder_city, that are great menbers here, but please, lets try to give this guy named Analag a break. He is bringing nice ideas, and most important, nice discussion. You don´t have to build his circuits. But still, has anyone tried to build his circuits exactly like his drawings and with the big caps and PSUs he mention to find out it´s not that great or Genious anyway :?: :?: :?: Maybe time will make him feel how people in this place behave, but if this is just like the way he is, for me it´s ok also. people are diferent. I mean, he is not being unpolite to anyone nor he is saying he is better han anyone just because he thinks he is a genious and his circuits are great. That´s only his impressions of his own work. So, leave it :roll: Best for everyone.
Think about it all one more time. This is not the way we are used to welcome new menbers also... Specially those that comes with good stuff.
In the end, I must say again,
Welcome Analag :thumb:

Rafa,
This is all in jest. :grin: We mean no harm, just having a little fun.
As for myself I cannot tell the difference between a vacuum tube and a dill pickle.

If it won't fit into a DIP socket, how about a single octal socket?

OK, sorry, maybe I´m feeling a little heavy mood today. I also mean no harm to anyone...
Just for a rapid relax :sam: :razz:

Maybe a piggy-back board that plugs into an 8 pin DIP?

I think Bill is getting realy serious about the DIP package tube opamp idea... :shock:

Sounds as top-heavy as an accounting-scandal-ridden energy company.
Finally one has stood up for me, I appreciate. I build most of what I post in fact I'm building the FET/Tube cascoded pre amp now, I changed a few things about it too. This thing has BJTs, JFets, MOSFETs and tubes in it. I also recorded a very good guitartist today with this Fet input/tube output DI that I made just for the occasion. I think I'm gonna go bankrupt funding these endless projects.
