It's like asking an audiophile if they prefer amplifiers that use tubes vs MOSFETs vs bipolar transistors. You will see compelling reasons for any choice
That said, my preferences: For true nixies (individual cathode for each numeral) HV5530 with an anode-current regulator For segmented nixies like b7971, use a shift register such as 74xx595 to control high-voltage NPN current-regulators on each segment. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
