Chekhonte Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I never thought I'd get a tube amp but it looks like I am. I know nothing on the subject but really need a crash course. Is there a good resource out there that I can read? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 The lightbulb thingies are tubes. You put them in the holes on the amp that seem like they fit. Don't turn the amp on without headphones plugged in. Turn down the volume before switching cans. Turn off the amp before switching tubes. Power + no tubes = magic smoke release.

Salt Peanuts Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 turn the amp on and lick the places where it looks like the light bulbs go. Mmmm, tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomana Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Keep unattended tubes away from cats. Bored cats love tube rolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fing Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Why do you feel you need to get a tube amp over solid state? You're probably better off asking this on head-fi. Before you do, it would be helpful for you to state your budget, the headphones you'll be using with it and even though it's rarely mentioned, your source / type of music you like to listen to. Try and buy used. A good bargain at the moment in the Head-fi for sale section is a SinglePower Extreme Platinum with upgraded power supply - going for $1500. Probably $1k off list. There are lots of budget alternatives - go through the Headphone amp forum in Head-fi for info about them and try and audition if you can.

boomana Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 I want my own forum! There's a new pompous ass (version: whiteboy gansta wannabe knowitall on mommie's dime talking bitches, kahnts, and video game meaning of life theology) over at head-fi asking for advice on "stylish" headphones. If I had my own forum, I'd be allowed to put diapers on him and publically spank him or drop him into an actual hood and webcast how well he survives once he says a bitch or kahnt to a real one. I shouldn't have bothered with his spit at all, but I wanted to set him up to see if he'd fall. He did actually type out C_U_N_T_S, but nothing else. Then I got nice. I'm a wimp. I still want my own forum, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
