Um, maybe because you're smelling it rather than listening to it? To each his own of course, but that's just weird.

I don’t own a DV, I think that MM does....

You sure the Melz you sent my way is not of the rare ones ??
As mated with the Svetlana 6080, it’s kicking assess
And if the Melz you are mentioning is even better, it’s even worse

That was not a rare or outstanding Melz. I would say a year of listening and about $2,500 will get you to Melz nirvana. It is a journey and not a simple one.

Or a cheap one.

Or, we could just wait for you to tell us which are best, and save ourselves a lot of money. Thanks in advance.

That is no fun.

Please don't tell me it's a Class D amp. I just ate.

It is one of those letters in the alphabet, earlier than Z as I recall.

Whew. That's a relief. D is after Z, right?

I got this as a kit a long long time ago. Bought a bunch of extra tubes for it as spares, but 20+ years later and it's still running with the originals. Might be a tad unwieldy as a wristwatch though. Oh, and you'd need a really, really long cord.

But how does it sound?
Which tubes have the most accurate time response?

Inquiring minds want to know.

 

[Mr Trev]

Just cause we got a MM pic in "latest thread images" I figured I'd balance it with a Norah Jones.

I'm pretty sure they're Russian tubes. Probably 1961 Melz. Perforated plates even.

Score!

I wonder how many people we could sucker into a Nixie tube rolling thread…

: MM is solid-state, NJ is vacuum tube

At a given age no need for a long chord anymore

Back to thread? “Why the hell does my DarkVoice smell?”:

Depends on what kind of smell, normally DV may smell like BBQ wood but in this case it may not sound like a BHC but may smell like one (crack)

Am not sure the forum moderators would keep you on this thread if you don't show a proof of purchase for a DV, could be a burnt one

In 1 year you would have discovered a new tube and the Melz Nirvana will be obsolete and eating the dust. Probably as we speak you have your Russian minions (aka Thugs) breaking in and threatening some peaceful old people to open their old radios and collect tubes
