Woo is sure making a nice profit on the 596. Luckily I have one "on loan" from Clayton

Now if only my new amp would arrive

Your new amp will work better with the GZ37 ask Clayton.

I wonder if the WA22 can support the BL63? I'm thinking not, but a bunch showed up on evilbay and is giving me bad thoughts...

I know, that's what I understood and I will mainly use GZ33 and 37 but I just have to try the magic 596 at least for a little while.

GZ33 and GZ37 = Warm mids, rich sound, very nice top sparkle (it is closer to a shimmer), broad bass. Female vocals are very natural.
 
596 = Clean, almost ss sound. Bright mids and expansive bass. The highs can be a little dry. Female vocals a little forward.
 
Glenn's mono blocks started to settle in with its sound signature after about 400 hours. (A real guesstimate--I don't log hours.)
 
This is all with speakers. Zu Omen Standard 12-ohms speakers plugged into the 16 ohm speaker outs.

Looks like I'll be fan of the GZ series then. But I do wonder what you will think of the amp, C

VISUALLY your amp is stunning. Glenn's amp really looks like a powerhouse of sound. It is no surprise that all of those beautiful tubes combined with the genius of his amp design present the music with elegance and eloquence. You have a gem!

Yes, I'm really happy to get a "Glenn Stereo Integrated" as he calls it. But you have 3 gems already

Of course it comes with a warranty which also includes (at no charge!) a periodic site visit to make certain that it is working at its optimum (bias) level in your amp. So I'd say the next site visit is in 3 months?

Now THAT is customer service!

I'd go with the second set. I actually own a few Mullard EZ80 and EZ81 but if I were to buy some RFT tubes I would buy from the second link that you posted.

thank you mister clayton i will do! one more question i have asked one or two people this already but ill ask you as well to be extra sure.

Hello everybody,
 
I have an issue. When I turn my setup "on" I can hear some background noise (static in my opinion).
 
Setup:

1. Flac songs
2. MediaMonkey
3. USB from motherboard (Desktop computer placed on the floor close to a plug)
4. Hi-Diamond USB2 cable
5. Audio-gd NFB 3.33
6. RCA interconnection cable (Audio-gd)
7. WA6-SE
8. LCD2, GS1000, DT880

 
So far I tried the amp alone and there is no noise, however as soon as I plug the RCA I can hear the static (with DAC "on" or "off"). Then I tried to plug the amp directly to the computer via a jack to RCA and the background appears to be worst. Therefore I think that the statics are coming from the computer but I am not sure. Could it be the quality of my plugs? I will try to use my other amp tonight (ALO PanAm) to see. Do you have any advices for me at this stage?
 
Thanks for your help!

You're welcome.
I can't answer that question because I've never owned those tubes. Ultrainferno has borrowed my WA2 and has been using it since last August. I use my WA2 with either a Mullard EZ80 or EZ81. I use RCA 6AS7 or G.E. 6AS7 and Mullard CV2493. I really enjoyed those tubes together. The RCA 6AS7 is warmer than the G.E. 6AS7. I like them both.
