I've never really understood what's remotely funny about that page. OTOH, this (http://english.aopen.com.tw/products/mb/ax4b-533tube.htm) is funny. And apparently real.
No wonder they are selling them off, A Triode output audio amp, ... Should have been a pentode, ..... and BTW . With only one valve you cannot get stereo, with ATX power supplies you cant get the +300 volts the valve needs, so Sorry ........ its a fake .... But I have a couple of Valve amplifiers here still, I think, And we still fix a lot of them. They give the best sound. zcat wrote:

It seems i am wrong. I'm stunned, I read the details on the tube, and saw that old tubes played classical music best while new tubes were designed for electro funk and decided it must be a joke I seems like in reality its a variant of the "Monster Cable" argument. re-examination shows that they use a small fet chopper, and caps to make a high voltage pump for the anode voltage. So yes someone really did --- thats just plain weird. Anyway - I retract. Gavin Denby wrote:
