Are you part of the cult?

From the company I co-founded.  258 Hovland Sapphire units produced and sold from 2002-2008. Weight was 82 pounds. Custom output transformers modeled off a particularly special Peerless. Choke power supply. Hybrid tube/FET front end.

(The late actor James Gandolfini--The Sopranos--had one in his bedroom as a night light. That's what a family friend handling pieces of his estate told me. x-D)

Mine is the "Completion Backwards Principle," - but more the live shows than the recording.....

 

Seen them many times, and my band almost warmed them up in 93 when they had a few shows in SF. Prairie Prince now paints bikes and motorcycles just a few blocks from my neighborhood.....

 

A friend of mine, Dave H., was a roadie and stagehand for the Tubes through one tour.   Said it was absolutely insane.

I am a member of the cult, but the tubes are all hidden inside the component chassis.  So unfortunately I don't have any glass porn pics [sad face emoji].   

 

But there are some fine pics in this thread.
