    Oh, okay that's sick. I didn't know you could get motherboards with that

    That was one of, if not the only one ever made. It was in the 90's. Notice the PCI and AGP slots.It was also terrible, the valve was prone to interference from the board, and valves make heat, the enemey of computers.

    It's just better to have an outboard DAC/amp, which of course could be a tube amp, if that's your jam.

    I have friends who roll tubes in their preamps, on otherwise modern sound systems, so yes, I remember yesterday when I was at a friends house.

    It's a KAM Lumberjack guitar amplifier serving a Sovtek 4x10 cabinet.

    I bought a tube headphone amp recently. I kind of wish I had done more research because I didn't realize what a bitch quality tubes are to obtain now.

    I really thought vacuum tubes from the back of a TV would explode if I threw them at the back of the garage. I unsuccessfully applied this logic to many areas of early life.
