Now the question would be - why would you get GOTL Super 9 or 10 or 11 if you prefer 2 x 6as7? You're better off with the basic GOTL which is cheaper and Glenn can build you one with oak or teak. Can't remember which.

1> Who knew the 6AS7's in GOTL would preform so well (Glenn knew it). All us us formerly FA amp peeps knew multiple 6BX/BL7's sounded better in that amp, than 6AS7G...

2> Get hum with 6N7 and 6x 6BX or BL7's...

Those are my 2 excuses.

I already said "if I had it to do again, I would get 6N7 / EL32 all w/native sockets and bias resistors optimized for these tubes and 2x 6H13C sockets, in a smaller footprint amp."

I share JV's sentiments, running a NU 6N7GT with EL8 and RCA 6080 tubes. However, I don't mind at all having the Super 9 GOTL since there are so many opportunities for future tube rolling (although I am inclined to stay with my current combination.)
IF GOOD IS GOOD, ISN'T BETTER BETTER?

Was just listening to UT's amp with EL32/CV1052 in the C3G sockets. Except for a little background static in one of the tubes these tubes
sound really good. I liked them would have never thought of using them. Actually liked them more then the FDD20
They have less gain but more then enough volume for me and nice highs not harsh at all this is with my Auteur.
I might have to make some 6J5 to EL32 adapters to use them in my amp

Glenn...now just add a 6N7 and see what you think....

How about the FDD20? really a 12 volt 6N7.

Wait, what? The basic GOTL is available in a wooden version?? Glenn didn't mention that...

Another note, in my amp...use of just the 6N7 (no EL32's) and 6x 6BX or BL7's - results in hum that is readily apparent. The hum goes away completely, with use of the 6AS7G

Same.

Has kinda soured me on 6bx7s.

It will work, I do find Visseaux 6N7 sounded a little better than FDD20

I get no hum when using other drivers’ seems to be unique to 6N7 and the 6BX/BL7’s.

Talk to him. Probably have to pay more for the wood version.

Looks like the future of 6bx7 / 6bl7 is good. Anyway only a very small representation here who doesn’t like these power tubes or who have hum issues with them.

I have many choice drivers that are quiet with sextet 6bx7.

GOTL Super 9 or 10 or 11.

What's the Super 11? Super 9 + rectifier + ?

 

[UntilThen]

What's the Super 11? Super 9 + rectifier + ?

Super 9 + 2 x EL3N or 2 x EL32

 

[UntilThen]

What's the Super 11? Super 9 + rectifier + ?

Or Super 9 plus 2 rectifiers - 4 or 5 volt So you can use any rectifiers you want haha.

 

[leftside]

Super 9 + 2 x EL3N or 2 x EL32

Cool. So Super 12 would also have the tube rectifier then.

 

[UntilThen]

I will have an tube amp in the foreseeable future. Since I cancel the DNA Stratus, it could be a GEL3N or a 300b amp. All in good time because mountain and water is keeping me entertained big time right now.
