Well, what can we say? I suspect that he knows Spinal Tap and maybe HE was the interviewer J

Built my own tube amp with 420 VDC inside. Would love to hear your tips. What I'm actually building is a volume display for a tube amp. When you turn the volume pot, a couple of nixies will display 0-99. The amp in question already has a transformer that delivers 220VAC, so I will be dropping and rectifying that to get my 180V for the nixie anodes.

There are a lot of not-obvious things that go wrong (line noise, transients, component failure, inadequate isolation) with very bad consequences. If you have done a lot of past designs, I can share some tips on how to make a line-operated design safer and more reliable. The last thing we want is for someone's nixie clock to cause a fire, or worse. I've had a few "learning experiences" with line-operated circuits that ended-up with sparks, smoke, and/or small explosions despite careful forethought. There's always something you overlook, and sooner or later it will get you. ….clip.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
