Thermionic CultureTube outboard with attitudeBE / NL / LU
-
Thermionic Culture Ltd. was formed in 1998 to manufacture, promote and sell Recording Engineer Vic Keary’s all valve studio equipment designs. Tubes have less inherent distortion than transistors, etc., and very low noise, so sound very natural in well‐designed circuits, especially with excellent audio transformers (Sowter!), as needed. When valves distort of course the sound is legendary and mostly quite attractive and musical.
