Jens, I wasn't sure what you intended. Might have been Russian "thermometer" tubes as display even. I wonder what the various guys who have mentioned making audio meters ended up doing? Even though you want it for a headphone level indicator, it might get used by others for different purposes.

Dalibor has made thousands of his tubes.  They are pin compatible and very esthetically pleasing.  They are a good alternative to the original 5680's.At the price for 568's, the market for kits was probably drying up.  I've checked with Pete at PV and as of a month ago, he was out of kits. Jeff

I should have taken you up on them. We may still be able to wheel and deal. I know you're pretty active in the forum and trust worthy. I got the tubes from Oregon today. They're good. I got one of the Chinese one 7971 tube clocks today... Interested to try it out. It's got a few options.

Hi David, hi John, Thank you very much for your help! I am not trying to build a professional VU meter; rather, what I want is to create a microcontroller-based LM3916 alternative. These are now obsolete LED bar driver ICs with a logarithmic output that are quite handy for building a simple

Hey Jens... 1). Don't call it VU unless you match the actual ballistics of the ORIGINAL VU meter 2). Europe tends to use a PPM [quasi-peak] system. Peak Program Meter. 3). Consumer and pro levels are very different. They are often misunderstood and hence mounds of garbage appear on the web.
