A weekend of music with Glenn Super 9 OTL amp and Woo Audio WA5-LE. The latter came with Mullard 6SN7gty CV1988 black glass brown base, Takatsuki TA-300B and Emission Labs 5U4GM (Hand made in Czech Republic). Glenn OTL amp has Sylvania 6SN7W metal base and 6 GE 6BX7gt.

WA5-LE is on loan from my friend who have also handed me his best tubes. What a nice chappie. :)

Impressions to follow in a week's time but right off the bat. it's a monumental blast from both tube amps.

Glenn is the winner. Just compared the tubes used in GAmp to those in the WE5LE.

Not really a fair competition look at the price difference. Hell the 300Bs cost more then the OTL and all the tubes in it.
A better competition would be my 300B against the WA-5.

Well I hope the OTL won't smoke the WA-5. :ksc75smile:

Yeah, the 300B tubes cost more than your amp!

Great looking table of gear though.

Nice set up, UT. Looking forward to your impression.

True, not a fair match for a number of reasons, including OTL vs OTC.
But no doubt your notes will cover all the finer points... of course, with multiple tube combinations in GS9OTL.
We would expect no less from you, UT! :)

Just to be clear, Mullard never manufactured a 6SN7. Mullard sourced their 6SN7GTY from Brimar.
