This thread needs more amp porn. Please excuse my less than stellar photography skills.
 
I encourage other Glenn amp owners to post some pics of their favorite setup.
 
I am running Telefunken PY500s and defrocked Lorenz C3g. I can't pick any sonic differences in any PY500 / C3g - I like the Telefunkens because they look cool and have a nice glow.
 
The HD800S loves powerful tube amps. The HD800 did too, but now that the treble peak is fixed and the bass is present, this is an AWESOME headphone for a Glenn amp.
 
The EAT 300Bs aren't the best match for this amp + headphone combination. Taks are on order.

Night shot please

Not night shots but I thought they look good with light reflection on the tubes..

  Night shot please

 
I wish I had the gear + skill to do a good night shot that captures the lovely orange glow of the Telefunken PY500s. I would need a camera with a wide aperture setting and slow shutter speed, and probably a tripod to avoid blurring the image.
 
Anyone out there that can take a good night shot that captures the glow?

Nice! Is that a TS RP driver? What other tubes are you running in that shot?

 

[Rossliew]

This is truly one mighty rectifier, working well with all combo of tubes. Such a versatile tube and it looks good too. Always never fails to elicit a "wow" look from my friends and family

Yes a Tung Sol 6f8g. Superb fixit tube for me as well. Others are the WE422a rec and a pair of WE421a powers. Lovely lovely combo when paired with my PM2.

Up the ISO, sensor grain adds to the effect too, keep shutter at 1/10 ish, open the aperature wide, take a deep breath press the shuttle button but don't release it until the photo is taken.  But you're right, tripod/chair work much better

Anyone can share if the LCD2 pre fazor would be well driven by the OTL on 5998 setting?

Best I can do with my craptastic camera - I really need to update it, but all my 'spare' cash tends to go towards audio gear

 
Quite a bit of blur and it really doesn't do justice to the Telefunkens.
 
Another PY500 with really nice glow is the RCA - the big fat ones. They glow like crazy.

Not a bad shot, those Telefunkens are bright! The C3gs aren't bad either.  Where do you get your telefunkens?

EBarf. They tend to be a little pricey compared to other PY500s (but positively cheap compared to some 6SN7s).
 
Just picked up another 4 in excellent condition.

Nice, lucky!  I've been following eBay for a while and only manage to get a set.  Hopefully I'll be a able to get more eventually.
