Because 11 is louder. It is one more than 10! Duh!

Why don’t I just make 10 a little louder and then make 10 the top number and make that a little louder?

    I’m going to say the obvious thing here: Surely it should show the
    volume as 0-11?

    Thanks; good advice. I am an EE with 12 years of experience and
    have worked with HV before. Built my own tube amp with 420 VDC
    inside. Would love to hear your tips.

    What I'm actually building is a volume display for a tube amp.
    When you turn the volume pot, a couple of nixies will display
    0-99. The amp in question already has a transformer that delivers
    220VAC, so I will be dropping and rectifying that to get my 180V
    for the nixie anodes.

        I dont recommend line-operated designs unless you've done
        some previous design work at  high-ish voltages. There are a
        lot of not-obvious things that go wrong (line noise,
        transients, component failure, inadequate isolation) with
        very bad consequences.

        If you have done a lot of past designs, I can share some tips
        on how to make a line-operated design safer and more
        reliable. The last thing we want is for someone's nixie clock
        to cause a fire, or worse.

        I've had a few "learning experiences" with line-operated
        circuits that ended-up with sparks, smoke, and/or small
        explosions despite careful forethought. There's always
        something you overlook, and sooner or later it will get you.
