Tubes Asylum Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ |
|
This is a very US - centric forum. Nothing wrong with that, but on the Tubes Asylum almost all the threads are about US tubes - specifically post WW2 octal and 9 pin tubes. Quite a monopoly.
But those of us in Europe have quite a different choice of tubes - for instance all the tubes with side contact, Y8A, B4, B5 and B7 bases. And there were a lot of them, many superior to the later US varieties.
So who uses European tubes? For instance I use AZ1 mesh rectifiers, but there are many more.
