Had to pass this link around, couldn't believe what I was watching!
There is English translation also.

Apart from the crappy automatic translation ( courtesy of Google ) I must admit the video is astonishing!

That guy is a true artist!

Thumbs up!

Thanks for the posting the link, 17 minutes of true pleasure ( only for tubes addicts )

Best regards

Bob

Yes that one is a goodie isn't it. There are still a number of places that hand-make their own tubes; this one from one of the old Tesla factories in Prague.

I bet they sound fantastic but they are expensive

Whilst on the topic of expensive tubes, I am still hanging out for these guys to get their show on the road

Hi tw!

I remember the thread about "techtubevalves.com" ( seems to me the title was "revolutionary or just another try?" ).

I didn't know they postponed the "release" date once again, I'm wondering what's going on with them....( financial problems or technical issues due to an over-confident start ? ).

Anyway, my pockets ain't deep enough for these tubes, so I'll stick to JJs ( good quality at reasonable prices ).

Cheers

Bob
