I saw this on TV and recorded it.  I watched several times.  There is an interesting slant in the dialog. 

Those are really tall tubes shown in the opening!

Very interesting video. Thanks for posting it.

Great video, You Tube has so many great vids.

[Dr. Toobz]

Very cool. Talk about "tube porn," though - those suckers they showed in the beginning really live up to the "bottle" nickname! Those are 845 transmitter triodes, right?

KR audio calls them T-1610, but that is probably the Chech companies designation. Their site says the amp, 'Kronzilla', is a 50W per channel SET integrated. You have to email or call for a price.

Cheers,

Grainger keeps asking for smileys.
We'll give it a try
I wonder if anyone else finds them somewhat insipid? 
Is it possible to use too many in a post?

  I would like the one that is eating popcorn! And where is the one with a pair of cans on?.

WTF!  
How did this end up in this thread?  
I thought I started a new topic!

That's great, the kissass.gif is my favorite.
In case anyone is interested, a matched pair of T-1610s will run you $2,499. The 'Kronzilla' amp only costs 16k. The tubes are supposed to have a operating life of 8-10,000 hours, what a bargain. They are beautiful though.

You should notice I only ask for one.  But I realized a tongue-in-cheek smiley face might look.... let's say rude.  Well not quite like the link you supplied.

I just want others to know when I'm joking.  Maybe this one:

And on the "Modify/Preview" page I found you stocked some smiley faces.

Thanks Dan.
