arco Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Oh No! I knew big power triodes existed, but what about a current build 150W/ch amp with a 4200V PS and 400W plate dissipation? Just go to http://www.teresaudio.com/haven/ and visit Orey Block's system (under: Friends Systems). I just wonder what kind of speakers he is driving...

Chris Robinson Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 That's a gosh-darned FLUX CAPACITOR on the top. Probably feeds it beer and banana peels. If anybody is interested in what "WAF = 0" looks like, well ... there you have it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Garrison Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 Thanks, Chris. Thought I recognized that beastie, but couldn't place it... And for those of you who don't know how a flux capacitor works, here, curteousy of Richard Schedler's website at http://www.schedler.org , is the explination: Like any capacitor, a flux capacitor holds a charge. In the case of the Flux Capacitor, it holds an antimatter charge capable of negating the space-time warp pressure which holds each one of us in our own "present". In the same way as radioactive matter has a "critical mass" that, if exceeded, causes a chain reaction, anti-matter has a space-time limit (somewhere just over 60mph) which, if exceeded, causes a reverse or fast-foreward of time and space, depending on which way it is sensitized (+ or -) before the acceleration. The mass of the antimatter determines the volume of the environment which is transferred in this way: use of a stainless-steel (magnetised) container (a deLorean) distorts the inherently spherical environment so that only the car and its travelers get transferred, not bits of the roadway underneath them as well (which is why you can't replicate the experiment with your old Ford Edsel). You're welcome. Ray ------------------ Music is art Audio is engineering Ray's Music System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triode Pete Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 Very, very dangerous. I wouldn't wear a watch or wedding ring near that exposed thing. Makes a great heater in the winter! It may sound wonderful & dynamic. Definitely a bang for a buck! Hope he doesn't electrocute himself or others. Remember the 1st watt is the most important. Paul Klipsch once said what the world really needs is a good 5 watt amplifier! Have fun & enjoy, Pete Pete's System (s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
