A friend and I are exploring this audio hobby together now and we are both looking for equipment to try to fill our basements and our ears.
Lately we have been talking about amps, tubes and some of the wild frankenstein like tube gear out there. Tubes have got stars in his eyes right now and I think he is thinking about trumping me with a purchase of some high end tube piece. No tubes for me, since I want to move forward in technology, not backward, at least when it comes to my audio or computer gear.
Anyway, I want to flip him out with something as long as it does not cost too much. Even if its a little pricey (< $100 or so), as long as I can toss it back on Ebay or something. Who knows maybe I will keep it if it looks appealing enough.
Here is it. Is there anything out there that I can make ominously wicked looking that has glowing tubes. I want to invite him over, so that when he looks on top of my rack, this tube beast is glaring back at him. And if it looks good enough, I might even leave it. I actually got this idea sort of after seeing a Kieth Emerson show. He had his regular assortment of keyboards, and then this stack of ancient electronica from the early 70s for a gag.
Sorry for the dumbest question every asked on audioholics. Any ideas though?
