Not a minority. There is at least two of us. I find the WA22 sufficient in bass also. However I use Audeze HP's which have plenty of slam.

Glenn put me on the OLT list for next year. I spoke to the boss (wifey) and I have permission.

 
How many are ahead of you?  I think I want the same thing in 2016, but I yet lack "permission"....

The basic amp for $650 sounds as good as the ones with all the mods just has less tube rolling options.
 
Got to get downstairs building amps now the lights are blinking it has been raining for 11 days now.
Got to get something done before I am in the dark.

Are you near all that hurricane crap in the Carolinas?

No it is another storm hitting the Carolinas it has been raining for almost 2 weeks now.
Trees are just falling down in the soft ground taking out power lines.

^ That!

I know that Glenn is not using the small chassis and transformers anymore but, if you just want to listen to music, his basic OTL - with $50 worth of tubes is all one really needs.
The other stuff is just because we can...

Very cute. I like the small footprint.

 

[parbaked]

It's the OG OTL...Clayton's baby...I believe the 2nd of Glenn's commercial amps for HF.
 
It is a great amp for high impedance cans.

@2359glenn, I think the best way for you to showcase your amps is by displaying them at Head-Fi / CanJam meets:
 
http://www.head-fi.org/f/24/local-regional-head-fi-meets-parties-get-togethers
 
This way, people like me who are on the fence would be able to try it first-hand, which is vital for us to make a determination, especially on a little known brand. I honestly think you should look into this - you would probably build much more of a following after a few meets, and your amps value versus the other summit-fi names would probably wow everybody too!

I agree, I have not rolled a tube in Glenns amp yet that did not sound good.
 
Glenn prides himself in making amps that can use cheap tubes and he most certainly has succeeded.
 
I am a very new owner of a Glenn OTL and it has exceeded my expectations and what I read about them and what everybody told me about them is very true.
 
As I am sitting here listening to B.B. King right now, I could not be any happier.....a pair of GE PY500 rectifiers....Mullard 6080 Power Tubes ....Brimar 13D1 Driver tube which is a 25SN7.....Lucille has never sounded better

Whirlwind where do you purchase the tubes you do buy. Think I may start stocking up. Any suggestions would be great, thanks

 

[whirlwind]

I've bought from e-bay....Langrex....B/S/T forums here at headfi......valvetubes.....
 
The other folks here probably know way more places than myself.

small footprint. BIG SOUND!

  It's the OG OTL...Clayton's baby...I believe the 2nd of Glenn's commercial amps for HF.
 
It is a great amp for high impedance cans.

 
The only tube amp I own that will lift the Sennheiser HD 650's notorious dark veil, to showcase its extraordinary sound spectrum.

Yeah, Glenns amp took my HD650 to another level, for sure.

Yes that is a oldie glad to see it again.
The new ones are really not that different same sound signature.

 

[whirlwind]

Glenn sent me two different pair of 42EC4/PY500 tubes
 
GE & RCA .....They have a different construction for sure....I did not notice a difference in sound, either the tubes sound similar or these tubes do not play with the sound much or my old ears can not tell  

 
Here you can see the difference in construction.
 

The GE maybe is a rebranded Mullard....it is built pretty rugged and the RCA pretty wimpy next to it.
 
The sound is wonderful with either set of tubes installed.
 
The RCA does make a nice little volcano glow

On the subject of rectifiers....  Do any of the older UX4-based type 80 or 5Z3 rectifiers provide enough current to run a Glenn OTL (with the original transformer)?
