Warming Up The Tubes

[TubesGlo]

Friday night jazz session with the warm glow of old Mullard's. Always a front row seat and the drinks are cheap.

Crites actually.

 

[Dave451]

Dynamo ST70? What’s the pre?

Crites actually.

How do you like your Crites? Man, they have some great looking speakers at reasonable prices.

A Transcendent Sound Grounded Grid I built 20 years ago. It runs old Mullard CV4003'S or RCA black plate 12au7's. Dead silent, clean and transparent. A 24 position stepped attenuator with PRP resistors and carbon films in the signal path. The 70 is completely refreshed while maintaining the original circuit.

Absolutely love them. I ordered all the parts from Crites, their "Type B". I built the cabinets with premium Baltic Birch. I listened to Cornwall IV's and just couldn't swing the price. I built these for less than 1/3 the cost. Paper in oil caps in the crossovers and they sound sweet.

Man, sweet system! Yea, the Crites look quite a deal compared to current prices for Heritage Klipsch. Nice job building the cabinets!

I'd never leave the cave, if that were in my proximity!

My wife says I spend way too much time in there. I tell her no, I spend just as much time on my motorcycle.

.... I tell her no, I spend just as much time on my motorcycle.

Me too, but I'd have to clarify which one!
