    NAD: FIRST ALL-TUBE HEAD

    So for the last ten years I've had nothing but solid state and hybrid amps. While these are perfectly fine and serve their purpose - I couldn't help but hear that old tube sound and start itching to get there. Lo and behold, I finally made the move. Found a local CL ad for a 1971 Ampeg V-4 and...

    200 watt all-tube rackmount power amp?

    Do you already have your favorite rackmount preamp, and seek a rackmount all-tube power amp in the 200 watt range to go with it? If yes, this thread may be of interest to you. A few days ago, I started a thread on the idea of a 200 watt Ampeg SVT-VR. (That thread is still alive and well, so...

    Ampeg 200 watt all-tube SVT-VR?

    Hello TB'ers! I have been playing bass for the past 45 years (I'm now 61). And I have been a member of Talkbass since 2009. I have owned so many different amp rigs over the years that it's embarrassing (including a vintage V4B, SVT-VR, and SVT-CL). And my all-time favorite amp was the...

    Cabinet Suggestions for All-Tube Recording Rig

    I just bought an Arkham Zephyr preamp and Carvin TS100 power amp from members here on the forum. I'm looking for a single speaker cabinet to pair these with. I used to own a vintage Ampeg B15N and I love that tone, so I'm leaning toward a 1x15" cabinet. I would probably consider a 1x12" as well...

    RMS output differences in all-tube amps

    I did a search and couldn't find exactly what I am looking for. This thread is only about bass amps with tube power sections, and this thread is focusing on just the power output section. I have seen amps with four KT88s that are rated at 150 watts output power (example: Shaw B150), and I...

    All-tube amp advantages?

    OK. Apart from increased cost, weight and maintenance, and lower reliability, what are the actual tangible benefits of all-tube bass amp design that cannot be accurately reproduced in modern solid-state design? Thanks in anticipation! P.S. I'm looking for a really good reason to spring for a...

    This is kind of a eugoogly. I have decided to retire my Traynor YBA200. She still sounds wonderful, but I know that the power tubes are on their last legs and it seems like an expensive cr@pshoot to try to find good quality matched sets of tubes these days. So, after many thousands of hours...

    Solid Gold FX Beta with small all-tube amps = redundant/not great?

    This is my first ever pedal and and it really seems to do what my amp already does by itself and the two together are not impressive. Would you say "duh" or "you're doing it wrong"?
