For anyone looking for a GEC L63 I don't think these are the good ones but the price is right

Are there significant differences in sound between the GEC L63 and GEC B36? I was typing with Heliosphann last night and couldnt remember what the consensus was.

I'm looking for a pair. Bought a shouldered grey glass pair, but one was a dud so I have to return...curious if the straight glass sound similar/the same, they are much cheaper and more common.

If I ever end up with both I will compare.

GOTL set to be delivered today. Hopefully I don't scare away the FedEx guy when he sees me staring out my front door foaming at the mouth.

Enjoy dude! I have to tear down my listening set-up today for a mancave remodel. I will be down for about 2-3 weeks,which sucks. My new DAC is supposed to come in today too,but cant use til after remodeling is finished.

Hard to live without music so long!
Maybe just setting up something portable? (laptop to GOTL etc etc)

No way I will go without music. I will be using my den system.
Schiit Modi>vintage Akai receiver>Rectilinear Highboy vintage speakers.

A massive step down,but it will suffice for a cpl weeks.

Maybe inserting the GOTL in that chain as a tube buffer/preamp?

I love those speakers. My 2nd favorite all time speaker next to my ADS Braun L810s

Noice! Once you get some time with that puppy let us know what you think of it vs the Bottlehead amp you were using.

Will do! Definitely will need some time. Right now I'm doing some rapid fire tube rolling to find where I want to settle and dig in, but I have to admit, that ECC32/421A combo I started with is pretty hard to beat. Needless to say, this amp is killer dynamic.

@Monsterzero sorry to hear about the tear-down, but that new man-cave will no doubt take your listening experience to new heights.

Thanks for the well-wishes everyone, and big thanks to @2359glenn for designing such a great amp, have to mention that everything from the sockets to the power switch to the 1/4 jack feels very premium and satisfying.
