I too have both amps here in the house (Raptor and a Woo 6 SE) ...

I've only managed a 30 minute side by side so far and my findings are too preliminary to make any certain comments.

I'll try and do a proper couple hour listening test soon.

But safe to say ... they both sound like 12 to 1300 dollar amps to me ... with a few nitpicky things I liked regarding one or the other. What I did find surprising though and feel safe in saying ... the Woo 6 SE, which I'm much less familiar with since it's my roomies ... did not at all sound overtly tubey or too tubey ... in fact, it was the equal to the Raptor in regards to cleanliness, detail and articulation. Neither sound overtly tubey to my ear and neither did one sound more "lush" than the other.

But more later. I need much more time to draw any accurate comparisons.

I have three NOS Tung Sol 12AU7 "black glass" tubes coming in this weekend.

I'll be selling one of them and so I thought I'd put the word out here before posting it to the for sale thread on the chance any Raptor owners might like to give one a shot.

...



...

No hurry.

Just thought I'd mention.

PM me if your interested in one.

Best.

I think it is a great idea to trade tubes on the thread; it's like a clubhouse. But is it allowed?

Hey does anyone have any experience with the reissued Genalex B749 from Russia?  I tried a quick search, and didn't find much. They are about $40-50, so they can't be terrible, right?
