Off to the moon you go then! Congrats on the new amp and try to keep your feet on the ground unlike a Tesla Roadster on a Falcon Heavy. :beerchug:- ru4music

That's just crazy! Imagine how good the LP could sound if I took it through my wood shop's machinery (e.g. table saw, router table, sanders and wood clamps etc.) :ksc75smile:- ru4music

Are you installing the RS series? The Duelund RS (coupling caps) sound great in my GEL3N.- ru4music

Yes, I have heard it, in fact I own it! At the first 2 months I was very disappointed, for the next 2 months I was underwhelmed... then for the next 2 months plus (up until now) I'm blown away with the sound. The GEL3N simply presents the music the way it is (i.e 45, 27, 26, 2a3, 300B tube...- ru4music

The 5CU4 is another "Glenn special" rect, tube that takes 3.5 amps for the heater (most systems can't provide this current.) It has extremely high perveance which means it drops less voltage across the tube, only ~ 5 to 10 VDC drop at 100ma current load (i.e. less sag/sway (swag)) in the power...- ru4music

Yes, I believe I already have their ebay page bookmarked. https://www.ebay.com/itm/5Z4GY-CV1863-KB-FE-STC-BRIMAR-NOS-BOXED-/310653909306?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368#shpCntId- ru4music

Speaking of rectifier tubes - BTW everyone I have been using my 5CU4 rect. tube ($10 USD) recently in my GEL3N amp with exceptional results. Some of us have to keep the Universe in balance by offsetting the cost of those high price tubes! :L3000::)- ru4music

Well, we're both correct! The PY500 tube is a half wave rect. so you need two for full wave rectification. Two PY500 tubes equals one 5U4G tube (I'm assuming Glenn used two half wave rect. tubes with a center tapped power transformer.)- ru4music

And I believe you need two rectifiers for the WA5 and one for the typical G300B build, correct me if I'm wrong.- ru4music

Ok, so if you add in the price for the rectifiers maybe my statement is still true! :)- ru4music

The tube cost you listed is right at my entire price point for my GEL3N, oh to be fair, you need to throw in $80.00 USD for 4 NOS EL3Ns and $10.00 USD for a NOS 5CU4 or 3DG4 rect. :beerchug: Does the WA5 have the parts upgrade pkg. or is it the stock version?- ru4music
