MH's ideal coil and voltage question

Poynt and PW:

I am assuming that the Holy Grail would be to market an audio amp with modern components but with a warm tube sound.  If the two of you could work some magic and it was truly indistinguishable from a tube amp sound then the sky is the limit!!!!!

Also Poynt, are you familiar with the famous Rolling Stones mobile studio?  Well it's found a permanent home in Calgary!!!

It has to be an Old School gyrator, see attached.  If the gyrator is post-1950 then it is suspect and could have been corrupted by the PTB.

"Gyrator" does tend to conjure the image of someone with cool dance moves more so than an electronic circuit...

Not familiar with the Helios console, but the multi-track appears to be an M79 by 3M.  Not the worst sounding machine out there, but I was never a fan of the isoloop tape path.  Azimuth always seemed a bit wiggly and I always thought head wear was a bit high.  But still, it had a discrete audio path (and pesky relays).

.99,

Do you have an amp in mind to mod, or are you starting from scratch?

Were you a buddy of the late George Martin?  lol

Here is a news clip where you see the guts in some detail:

Perhaps Poynt will make the next Sticky Fingers or Abbey Road in it!
