Korg NuTube 6P1 Vacuum Flourescent Dual Triode

Post by mediatechnology »

As with previous vacuum tubes, the Nutube is structured with an anode, grid, and filament, and operates as a complete triode tube, generating the same rich harmonics that are distinctive of conventional vacuum tubes.

By applying technology from Noritake Co., Limited’s vacuum fluorescent displays, though, the structure of the vacuum tube has been modified, dramatically reducing its size and allowing it to consume less power.
When I read about the Muzen Audio handcrafted radios using a vacuum flourescent tube amplifier I remembered reading about this a couple of years ago. It looks like they are in production and can be bought in the Nutube ebay store: http://stores.ebay.com/nutubeusstore
