Happy New Year!

 

[UntilThen]

Happy New Year and 19 days have passed since getting the OTL amp. This amp is very quiet regardless of the tubes I use. Reading the thread, Glenn seems to suggest running 4 RCA 6as7g in 5998 boosted mode with planar magnetic headphones. I've 2 Svetlana 6H13C and 2 RCA 6as7g with Brimar 13D1 as driver. Switch set to 25 volts and 5998 boost set to on. Using Audeze LCD-2f. Sounds great.

Could have run with Brimar 13D1 and quad Svetlana 6H13C. Cheap and good. Totally loving this amp now.

End game amp for you, UT.

 

[UntilThen]

Pretty much. I've not heard anything like it. It's powerful, effortless and holographic. This is the end.

For my ZMF Omni, I would use 6336, 5998, or four Chatham 6AS7.

Four 6AS7 tubes just seem over kill for high impedance cans.

The 6H13C if a good tube for the price espically if you are going to use 4 of them.
Many people don't like them I feel due to there low price no bragging rights.
Would never use a GEC6AS7 no matter how good it supposedly sounds.
I hate expensive tubes for myself as soon as I can I will be building new speaker amps and get rid of the 300Bs.
The 300B are ridiculously expensive and most are unreliable.

I could not agree with you more Glenn.

The price of the 300B tubes easily steers me far away, and If I used speakers I would want one of your amps, but one that would use cheaper tubes as you are talking about.

The idea that most amps don't use the tubes your amps do makes the tubes very affordable.

Some people get under the impression that if the tube does not cost an arm and a leg that it must not sound good...just not the case.

I brought the New Year in listening to this and I sit here not feeling I am wanting for anything, I feel blessed to be able to listen to digital music that sounds this good.





The 80 globe is a fantastic tube..it is one of those tubes that you just feel gets out of the way and lets the other tubes and the music do their thing.

The warmness of this amp will just melt your heart...I describe it as warm and dynamic and warm in a very special way.

I am listening in one tube mode and you can see the volume pot is about at 1 or 2 o'clock

I could leave this rectifier in for good and be very satisfied.

And it looks cool too I also have a 80 mesh plate that looks great used to have it in my preamp but decided to save it.
Replaced it with a 5Z3 as my preamp has a 4 pin rectifier socket. Most of my globe 80s are in restored old radios..

I only make 300B amps due to request I only push the OTL and EL3N amps.
Just bought more EL3N tubes from Stan he still has them for $20.

New speaker amp with cheap tubes would be awesome. I hope it will be able to drive KEF LS50's.

Stan from esrc?
He quote me for $40 piece
You must be his special customer

Jason, ask Stan if he has any EL3N tubes left, that the paint is chipping off

Yes ask for ones with the paint chipping off they are 1/2 price. And all of them will stat looseing paint after awhile these tubes are 70 years old.
So it don't pay to get the expensive ones when they will be chipping off anyway.
