Try it anyway. EL11's is a very good tone.

I didn't know you can use both 6sn7 and c3gs at the same time. That will have to happen at a later stage.

I'm listening to Archie Shepp Quartet - Blue Ballads. Piano, trumpets and drums.

Excellent musical selection! Pretty sure Shepp played Sax

Hello Phantaminum...

Listened you your suggested "What You Do"...

I have a lot of 'World Beat" genre, that sounds very similar.

Hey JV,

If you have any recommendations for World Beat please share. I love to explore new music!

I'm pleased that 6 EL11s is very quiet and cool running. I spend last night listening again for a few hours. The time just goes by so quickly. It's enjoyable listening to GOTL with these tubes and I'm using HD800. I'll have to post differences with other power tubes later.

Listening to Fourplay - Heartfelt album.

Hi UT,
Enjoyed reading your notes on the EL11s.
Any comparative impressions on the three different labels you have of the EL11s?
I understand that the plate structures differ by brand. I assume the sound also.

Try: Mickey Hart "At The Edge" and I love all the Jai Uttal albums...

Ah ya it’s sax not trumpet hehehe.

I am big time fan now. Both True Ballad and Blue Ballard are very good.... on the EL11s

Hi rnros,
I have a collection of EL11 tubes - 17 tubes. Valvo, Loewe-Opta, RFT, Philips and Telefunken. All are ST shaped with the exception of one pair of TFK tubular tubes. All are fairly large, but one Loewe-Opta is a smaller ST type.
I have not heard them in the GOTL, but in the FA amps the Telefunken ST EL11 sounded the best. That seems to be the overall consensus, also regarding the EL12 tubes.
In my experience the Telefunken EL11 tubes were the best sounding.
On the other hand, the GOTL is a different amp, and maybe another brand will shine there.

Yo Glenn-a-nites-

I just bought 6 6bx7’s and I want to get the proper adaptors for it.

I didn’t know what they were asking in regards to this option.... any help will be appreciated!

I think this is correct?


Thanks friends

What kind of amp do you want to use the 6BX7 tubes in?
I have a six strip adapter for external power for the Feliks Audio Elise/Euforia but it will only fit those two amps:

You have to take the measurements of the adapters and see if they fit - also order the ones that you can rotate in the sockets.
I am not familiar with the specs of your amp; it has to be able to handle the total current draw.
Perhaps Gibosi has a similar amp and can advise you.

Can you send a link to this adapter?
You don't need external power for filaments you have plenty of power in your amp.
Also they should be adjustable so they can be turned on the base to allow them to fit.

(Should have paid the extra $100 for the 6 sockets)

Hi UT,
Enjoyed reading your notes on the EL11s.
Any comparative impressions on the three different labels you have of the EL11s?
I understand that the plate structures differ by brand. I assume the sound also.

Ros, I love them all. RFT, Philips Miniwatt and Telefunkens. However I have only use them together.

BUT tonight I told myself that Glenn has planted this idea of using c3gs with 6sn7 as drivers, so I am going to try it. So I debated on using c3gs with the dual RFT EL11s as drivers. It's either I blow up Ulysses or make him sing !

And the result? Holy @#$%. This amp just got better by a mile. What have you created Glenn? Why didn't you tell me that we can use c3gs with 6sn7.

So I was listening to Jeff Beck sing 'A Change is Gonna Come' and I believe him 100% ! GOTL has just change before my eyes and ears.

Can you see the pair of c3gs sandwiched between the EL11s?

 

[UntilThen]

I'd speculate that switching EL11s with EL3Ns and c3gs in the above combinations would make for a splendid tone.

 

[whirlwind]

I had no idea that you could use three driver tubes at the same time either.

I thought it was one or the other....maybe I am misunderstanding something.
The C3g's are my favorite driver tubes and I can only imagine the dynamics and slam when adding a Ken Rad to the mix!
