Why Do Valve/Tube Amps Sound Better?
Many musicians and audiophiles still prefer the sound of an old-fashioned thermionic tube amplifier aka valve amplifier. Tubes have a typically "warm" and "open" sound produced by the synergy of many factors that solid-state devices just cannot simulate. The Red Roo tube guitar amplifier is a fully-featured design that will allow you to create your own unique sound or the sound of your favourite classic artists. With a Red Roo tube stereo amplifier kit you will experience your favourite recordings just as the original musicians and their sound engineers intended. What is a tube amplifier?
Safe Use of Tube Amplifiers
Tube amplifiers are generally safe unless they're physically damaged, misused, placed in poorly chosen spots, or repaired without taking the right safety steps.
Electrical Safety - Risk of High Voltage. Tube equipment houses dangerous voltages, often reaching several hundred volts or more, and can retain this charge long after being turned off. Always ensure tube circuits are turned off and the high-voltage supply is fully discharged before working on them.
Burn or Fire Hazards. Tubes run very hot and can cause burns. They may also ignite nearby materials like curtains.
● Place Tube equipment far from things that can burn. Ensure at least 200 mm clearance on all sides for good ventilation.
● Never leave a Tube amplifier on when not attended. Keep them out of children's reach.
