I remember many years ago, some people were prying off the metal shields because they looked better.
Those shield's are nice to have on those tubes for noise issues.

They are about the most transparent sounding tubes that I have ever heard. Great tubes.
Yeah Glenn told me that's why he used them in his 300B amp. He wanted to produce the most neutral and transparent sounding amp that he could.

Ask me which amp I prefer Glenn 300B with C3g vs Thunder V6 with 6J5 or 6SN7 vs Thunder V6 with C3g and you'll probably get a different answer each time you ask :) The Thunder V6 with C3g does sound closer to the Glenn 300B with C3g tho, but there are still differences.

It's kind of a shame this place is so quiet, but I guess that's to be expected without new owners joining the ranks.
Yeah I have nothing new to add. Apart from saying my two amps from Mischa aren't going anywhere soon.

Fire it up with some Muse and see if it has "the grunt." 🤣

Going to be a late night tonight! Amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail by @A2029. Couldn’t be happier with how the design turned out.

Thems a lot of switches!

Looking forward to the run-down on all these features. What are you using the networking port for?
Ethernet is for controlling the VU meters and power switch RGB LED’s over the network :)

Will do a more detailed break down once I get some time to sit down with it. Today our micro-preemie twins turn 1 year old after a very challenging start to life, so a lot going on over here today!
