anyone seen this?
thoughts? How do you run tubes that cold?

Cool, thanks for sharing. They don't hold punches on the cable companies. Funny.
I don't understand either. Even if the dissipation is super low, the heater by definition generates a significant amount of heat.
This is intriguing, and interesting at the same time. But B. Carver is no joker, so I would believe it.
It is monoblocs so it uses 4 KT88 seems, so less than 20W per tube.
And after 23:28 is the Carver's stand talk.
For those who want to skip the meaningless drivel, the comments on the Carver come at ~12:30.
Apparently, Carver claims the amps are 75 wpc. I can't imagine that would be possible if it's running at super low current / plate dissipation. And what would that look like on a tube curve graph?
Perhaps I'm wrong. Maybe some of the more technically gifted here could comment.
Thanks for the heads up about the later segment.And after 23:28 is the Carver's stand talk.
yeah, same as an SS amp, when its jamming its going to make heat. I suppose with a bunch of tubes in parallel you might be able to minimize that somewhat by spreading out the load.But still, the tube should be very hot when used, no ?

I'd still like to know wtf happened with Bob's partnership with Emotiva to build an entire tube line.
