arco Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Hi everybody, I actually spend almost all my free time in the planning and building of a no-holds barred 45-VT52-SV811/3A amp. Wish me luck! Always wanted to see what 1,5W of triode power could do to horns, especially combined to parallel feed OPT's. Will post extensive description with photos once the project is finished.

mike stehr Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 You'll like it, Arco. I heard me a homebrew 45 triode amp. SWEET! Please post your results. I have a schematic for a 45,2A3 triode, but it has no power supply listed in the schematic. It may take me the rest of my life, but I'm gonna figure out how to build a pair of these pups. Amazing what a watt and a half can sound like. THANX! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Lindsey Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 I have been away for the last 3 weeks hanging out on www.Corvetteforum.com trying to sell my modified '92, and purchase the ZR-1 I have always wanted. Neither has happened yet, so I decided to pay a visit today to this board and all hell has broken loose. Jim Cornell has sold his Cornwalls in favor of the Chorus's, Mobile's gone for good and there seems to be a new member who spent some time with PWK in the late 70's and early 80's, who has some nice stories from days gone by. Speaking of Mobile, I'll be playing golf in Myrtle Beach for the next 6 days and will try to get together with him while I'm there. I left a message for him and hope to hear back by the end of the day. Will keep you posted. BTW, did I miss anything else?

lynnm Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 If - as has been suggested - Mobile Homeless is gone - MH will be sorely missed. Others will fill the void that this departure has created but MH offered an unusual depth in technical knowledge and is obviously an exceptionaly talented website designer. MH's expertise in the area of vacuum tube amplification will be sorely missed. Hopefully Kelly will return to the fold. ------------------ It is meet to recall that the Great Green Heron rarely flies upside down in the moonlight - (Foo Ling ca.1900) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 Chris Robinson Sorry to hear of your loss.Hope all is going well !!!! I personally thought MH would already be back.

Chris Robinson Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 Thanks, everybody, for the condolences. He was only accutely sick for a week or so and amazingly, he had no major pain to speak of. Liver/lung cancer can be agonizing, but he was blessedly spared all that. We had a family reunion which he participated in just a few weeks ago, and following that, I think he felt it was time to move on. Thanks for the comforting words. Really appreciate it.

edwardre Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 Hi Chris, sorry to have lagged on the sentiments but I have been away for the past few.... I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Please accept my sincerest condolences as well as best wishes for you and your family at this time. My grandmother went by way of liver cancer. Although it is hideous, like you said, it was a quick 'process' sparing her from the agony of a long treatment regime. Take care. ------------------ Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Hi guys, I just got back from Myrtle Beach and am sad to report I did not get a chance to get together with mobile. For those of you who have been there for a golf trip, I'm sure you can certainly understand. Thirty-Six a day for 5 days can take a toll on you and I just didn't have the time to go down and see him. However, I'm glad to see he is still missed by others around here (I'm sure he is too). Chris - I'm very sorry to hear about your father's passing. You and your family have my condolences. Cancer of any kind is a horrible disease (I lost my father and grandmother to lung cancer). My girlfriend has been battling breast cancer for the last 10 months (they removed her right breast, and she had 6 months of chemo and 7 weeks of radiation), but they just found another tumor on her right side last week. We will find out today the results of the biopsy. Please say a prayer for us... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDBRbuilder Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 I haven't checked this thread in a few weeks. Chris, sorry to hear of your loss. I know what it is like to lose parents. I have lost both of mine. My father was less lucky than yours. His systems shut down on a Thursday morning, and he told the Doc he wanted to go home to die...he struggled to keep going in terrible pain, still keeping a sense of humor...finally giving up in the wee hours of the following Monday morning. I can just picture my father and yours hanging around with Mr. Paul, having a beer, giving each other a "mutual harassment" humorous hard time, and tinkering with the sound system up there right now...trying to get it right for when those saints come marching in. I know that would be heaven for all three of them! ------------------ If you want to send a private message, or have already done so, be aware I have not as yet been able to retrieve them. Send e-maill instead, please...just note Klipsch forum in the heading so it doesn't get deleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
