No more love for the 300B. :triportsad:

Glenn - are you still getting orders for it?

Just got a order for one with speaker outputs.
HEXFRED rectifiers with a timer I am using a Amperite delay relay looks like any other tube and has a filament.
Not as many people can afford it so my other amps sell better.

That is an old rectifier Ken!

I want to try an 80 Globe, Glenn sent me an adapter for it......

I would like to try an 80 Globe as well, but while it is suitable for use in the EL3N, unfortunately, it cannot provide enough current to run Glenn's OTL....

But it's not like I'm hurting for rectifiers... lol :)

In fact, I have a bunch of German 4-V rectifiers -- Telefunken, Valvo, Loewe, RFT and others. However, they are uniformly brighter than any British, Dutch or American rectifiers I own, and up to now, I have rarely rolled them as they tend to be too bright. But it turns out that the Lorenz C3g, which are darker than the Siemens, are a match made in heaven for these German rectifiers. :)

Here a mesh-plate Valvo AZ12

The german rectifiers will all probably be fine in the EL3N amp, as the EL3N tubes are not bright.
I would call them warm and dynamic.

Glenn Super 9 OTL amp > ZMF Eikon ; Tubes = RCA 1633 and Cetron 6336b.
One of the many beautiful tones from this amp. I stop declaring the best tube combination now because there are too many. :L3000:

6336 tubes sound better than Bendix 6080wb. Never expected this. When you consider their price difference, it's shocking. I really love 1633 and 6336 combination. HD800 sounds incredible now.

Hi UT,
I am thinking about it, but I need to know more about the amp and the various options and their price/performance ratios to be able to make an informed decision. I am awaiting clarification on some items from Glenn.
Another question: What is the purpose of the single socket in the front of the amp? Is it meant to use for a dual triode in two channel mode?
I remember that when the Elise was in the planning stages, Feliks decided to use two 6SN7 type tubes as drivers, even though one would suffice. Something about improved sound with two tubes working in parallel(?).

When are you going to test out the 3A Russian 6C33C horned beasts?

I am thinking of getting a made in Canada SET speaker amp(12wpc) that uses these tubes that are affortable. They get very hot 190C or 374F so excellent for winter months and hopefully should pair well with my very sensitive Klipsh KG5.5 speakers .

One driver and a pair of power tubes is all it takes to set my HD650 free and soaring skywards. Volume at 12 noon. Boost switch not on.

Then I put Atticus on and I'm soaring instead. :gs1000smile:

These tubes will keep you warm and cozy on a cold winters night!
