Looks like an Australian design but we won't hold that against it.
Just don't forget to reverse the polarity so it works right in the northern hemisphere.

Here, there are eight vu meters in that picture.
Back to VU Meters,
So am I the only one that finds the VU meters on this $3,000 Vincent SP20 amp looking like they better belong on a $149 Monoprice Chinese tube amp?
Some cheesy looking crap to me.

The scale is so small and illegible you'd need a magnifying glass to read them.There is something about the proportions that make it look aesthetically wrong.
Darn kool, but I bet it will earn you an obstructed vision fine from a LEO without a sense of humor.skip to 00:36
It does look like something that belongs on a tropical fish tank...Back to VU Meters,

Had that one too Don, one of the handsomest amps ever.I also liked the ones on my old Phase 700. Here is a shot of the 700B:

Nice console -- um, VU meters --, Don.
Mine only let the smoke out once, it took out the tweeter and midrange compression driver in one channel. Used it a few more years after the repair then sold it and got my VTL tube power.Nice set of gear -- even that old PL sonic enhancer thingie! My 700 was great when it worked but was the least reliable amp I have ever owned. The "A" and "B" versions were much improved but I didn't own one of them.
Exactly what I had in mind. And you can have it for only $199.99Back to VU Meters,
