The plates on that tall 1815 are huge!

The clamp is very interesting.

I love the Glenn 300B

The amp is very revealing, fresh, clean and airy. I've been comparing to the WA22, and there are differences. The WA22 is more laid back and a little warmer and still sounds fabulous, but the Glenn edges it in the clarity and soundstage and of course that wonderful "freshness".

A couple of things to note: my WA22 is fully maxed out with some of the best NOS tubes (Cossor 53 KU, Mullard ECC32's and 4 * 6BL7's) and I've spent a lot of time, effort and money finding good tube combos for that amp. For the Glenn, I'm running NOS Valvo rectifiers, NOS Siemen C3g "Post" gold pins and brand new Tak 300B's. The Glenn and the tubes probably still need time to break-in.

It's superb with a DAC and intoxicating with vinyl - matching this with a turntable setup is a marriage made in heaven.

The craftsmanship on the amp is truly outstanding. Such a solid beast.

New GUI is so hard to use, didn't see your previous posts.. Looks very nice! Kinda wish I went for 100mA meters, mine 200mA is hard to be precise

Posting pics seems to be working fine for me so far.

When I got off of work yesterday, this was waiting for me.

But unfortunately, there appears to be no way to search this thread... or any other thread....

Google search with search term site:head-fi.org has always worked better…

However, I haven't figured out how to navigate to this page. For now, I have saved it as a bookmark.

Looks great! Now all you need is an amp to plug it in to!

I've got a few C3g tubes. Any way to remove the black cover/coating without damaging the tube? Just use a sharp knife?

I have removed all the cover for my c3g tubes using a small plier. You have to go slow to peel the cover

Personally, I prefer that my C3g remain fully clothed.

But if this is something you really want to do, several years ago, over in the Little Dot rolling thread, Hypnos1 posted a quick little show and tell with pictures on how to remove the cans:

How do you quote? I got an error and need to quote manually.

+1 on the plier, don't use knife, you'll cut yourself. I use a flat noise plier, works wonderfully. Don't remove too many, I noticed additional noise with c3g cover removed.
