It's been about a year since I could listen to my Glenn because I was doing some restorations and moving and I was able to listen to it this week and it really blew me away how great the sound was. I had my entire desktop setup packed up and was mainly surviving off of the Hugo 2 and over the past month I have started setting things up again and this was the last thing.
This really is at another level from all of my other amps I was enjoying the Hugo and the TT2 during the time I had them but once I heard this again it was stunning and I wasn't expecting to hear that big of a difference. It's the clarity and the spaciousness that get me I feel like you don't lose much going to tubes and these make the imaging so impressive. The low end is also impressive compared to my other amps and this can also be a bit of the spaciousness but I think it also just has a lot of power and maybe a bit of the impedance with ZMF dynamics (AC).
Also a big fan of the GEC 6j5, another one that I liked was the Fivre 6j5 but those can get pricy and then a good reasonable price tube is the GE 6j5 metal tubes.
