RUSH RADIO
Over the past decade we have evolved into the supplier of bespoke and custom valve (vacuum tube) amplifiers. Our unique designs are based on both new and vintage models.
Why valves? Surely that is ancient technology?
Don't you believe it! When Lee de Forest invented the triode, even before it was called a triode, he had accidentally stumbled across the perfect device for superb audio. True hi-fi buffs around the globe recognise the beauty and clarity of sound delivered by thermionics.
Both with and without negative feedback, valve amps deliver an amazing sound.Ten years ago, we started out with the PR15 guitar amp project and have progressively moved toward high end hi-fi amplifier projects.
In the very near future, we will publish more on what we do and are about to do. Stay tuned, valve lovers!

Project GEC: Chassis undergoing restoration.
Project GEC is our current preoccupation. The GEC 5445 is a five valve superhet radio with three AM bands plus Gram input. We are restoring the original radio and adding a Bluetooth TM facility. The original bakelite cabinet has been resprayed in a piano black finish to replace the sixty year-old fake wood finish which had badly deteriorated. Modifications include fitting a 'quiet' 5 volt supply for the digital bits as well as led lighting to replace the dead dial lamps.
