None of the single pentode tube adapters for Feliks amps will work.
This will work

You can also use this on the outputs if you stagger them. Don't know how it will sound the impedance of these tubes might be to high.
Maybe with high impedance phones? But you will need 4 of these tubes and 2 adapters just to try.

I think I will try this since I have all the tubes sitting here. I will need 1 dual adapter for the driver and 2 dual adapters for the powers.

I am not sure whether to run EL12 or EL12spez. If the latter than I need the adapters with the cable for the top anode.

I will tell Mrs Xuling to orientate the adapters so that it’s streamlined for the GOTL.

To anyone with a new interest in tube testers, this a good source for information, both overview and tester-specific.
There are also some testers for sale, but more importantly, information that can help in making a purchase decision anywhere.
Starts with a general introduction, but scroll down to see the table of contents:

C3g is back in action with 6 x 6bx7gt. I have quarantined it for a while because it's not as quiet as my other favourite drivers. However it is now dead silent and has the slam and punch to make any music exciting and dynamic. Driving the LCD-2f here to perfection.

@wazzupi this is more balanced than a tight rope walker.

^^ as good and as dynamic as the above combo sounds, the idea of running EL11 and EL12 tubes in GOTL has set in..... but I won't have any frankenstein pile up.... so I wrote to xulingmrs and told her that the adapters must face a certain direction otherwise it's bad karma.

So this is how these dual adapters will sit in GOTL.

This is the adapter.


This is how the 2 x EL11 drivers will face.


and this is how the 4 x EL12 power tubes will sit.

If you move them back probably can put another adapter in the front output sockets letting you use 8 tubes.
Craziness

Ummm you read my mind. I like this craziness. I have to run 8 x EL12 / EL12 spez. It should all be within the Lundahl transformer limit right? I think the EL12 is only 1.2a. and EL11 is only 0.9. Total is only 11.4.

I'm just assembling my EL tubes for a photoshoot. I have so many all NOS NIB. This is crazy.

 

[UntilThen]

Well not that many.

4 x EL12 spez
2 x EL12
2 x EL12n

6 x EL11

Wow all those tubes...it will look like those Russian nuclear plants of old lol
Keep the pics coming UT

 

[2359glenn]

Cool who knows it might sound good.

 

[UntilThen]

Will run 4 x EL12 as powers first. That's already massive. Don't know what 8 would be like.

 

[wazzupi]

Lol let us know @UntilThen

12th Dec 2017 was the day I got GOTL and the first set of tubes used were these. GOTL basically sounds wet and powerful. That's right wet. In the last 2 days, I've been trailing Sonarworks Reference 4 for headphones. There's a switch to dial in dryness or wetness. Goes without saying I prefer wetness and this is one of GOTL's attributes. A beguiling moist tone that is dynamic, rich and powerful with C3g and 6 x 6bx7gt.

Communicated with xulingmrs through pictures .... I think she gets what I want. China is on holidays now so it won't be until 10th Oct before they can start producing that for me.

The EL12 and EL12 spez adapters will be at 45 degrees angle but can be rotated slightly by loosening the centre screw. EL11 and EL12 use the same adapters.

Then @felix3650 it will be nuclear meltdown.

Please don't melt that part of the globe till I come for a visit
