In episode 33 of the QSO Today podcast, Dr. Greg Latta, AA8V, was described as a renaissance man, a master home-brewer who designs and builds the old tube rigs and fabricates the beautiful metal enclosures that encase them.  Greg is also a college physics professor who says that vacuum tubes are one of the best ways to provide to students a visual representation electrons in motion. We reprise and update this QSO with AA8V.

Okay, here's the next episode of your Amps and Axes Podcast. It starts with a couple of topics prompted by listener questions. First, Jeff addresses a question about  his favorite Super Reverb amps. Then, there's a little talk about preamp tubes, complete with mention of a couple of links (provided here) that give a very comprehensive description of all the currently produced 12AX7 and 6L6 style tubes. Then the guys bring in their guest of the day, Craig Poole. Craig had been a professional tech for many years and has just recently come off the road and moved on to his next endeavor, so let's find out the who and the what of his past and the where and why of his future.
