Update: The only real complaint is the thing doesn't do ef86 valves.
Seriously?? That's kind of a deal breaker for me. I love EF86 preamps. Orange better add it in there for the next version or update.tone wrote:Update: The only real complaint is the thing doesn't do ef86 valves.
Very interesting! I'm going to have to look into this more. Thanks for sharing!davidw wrote:Came across this one the other day. I think it looks really good and would be interested in other opinions before having a go at building one.

Do it! You'll probably have free time to do it before me, and I'd love your opinion on it.CurtissRobin wrote:Hmmm! I've got a suitable chassis, all the parts (even the transformer due to an old, old SS hi-fi amp project that never got done) and Harbor Freight nearly always has those $5 DMMs in stock. This could happen!
Much thanks.

Hi, I would just like to correct your assumption on the Orange tube tester.Freddy wrote:The Orange tube tester looks interesting but for $500 it just gives you three indicators: Good, Worn, or Fail. No way you can match up power tubes with that system.
