You have a point there. If I never seen snow again it would be to soon after living in Upstate New York for 25 years.

I was born near Syracuse, moved to Cleveland young but will never forget the snow.

Cleveland has its fair share of bad weather, but when people here complain about the amount of snow...they just have no idea.

One time we got 3 feet of snow over night and there was already a foot on the ground.
Couldn't even walk had to lie down and swim on top of it.

Sorry for going off topic (again) but the Lampizat0r has landed! Having this in my home and not being able to use it for two weeks is gonna drive me insane.

Thank you again for your offer, Stavros.

This morning I am listening to one of my favorite driver tubes, you'll never guess who recommended it to me, someone with very good taste.

How about a Toshiba 6SN7?

Sorry to crash the thread, but since there isn’t much info on these and to not have to read through 1,800 pages......what do these generally go for price wise ? Also, while I have a few high ohm dynamics...Verite, HD600,HD650......most of my other cans are low ohm planars. Would I be able to use this with them also?

Can't you relocate your setup temporarily, D? Or is it just not practical? That is torture having to stare at gear that pretty for weeks.

@mixman Glenn makes various amps...

OTL
EL3N Transformer Coupled
300B

They all vary in prices ...OTL cheapest...EL3N...and finally 300B

The OTL is very can be customized with various options..so the price varies.

I have used my Glenn to drive Empyrean,Ananda,K701(glorious sounding)Grados and Focal Stellia all while using 6336 tubes. I def prefer my ZMF pairings,but I liked the sound with low ohm headphones thru my GOTL that I sold off my GLM2,which I bought specifically for low ohm dynamics.

Price? I will let Glenn comment on that,but essentially it depends on how many options you want to add on to the base model.

Why,you got some to share?!

Im setting up my computer in my den during construction,and theres really no place for me to put my main rig in there.
I think im gonna add an Innous server after I sell my Vinshine DAC,so I would rather set it all up complete at the same time.

It is funny that you bring it up Mordy, I read the same bit from Jac, but I have not been able to find any other source stating the same as far as the Toshiba-Telefunken connection goes. He is referring to the 6SN7GTB specifically.

From his price list, he says "These look so amazingly similar to Telefunken 6SN7, perhaps it is no coincidence. Well it is just a speculation, but it looks like this to me."

I don't own the Toshiba, I purchased one for a song, but the seller sent me a 6V6 instead! Got a refund, but didn't follow through on getting the Toshiba.

These are the Japanese drivers I own, Hitachi 6SN7GTB, Hitachi 12SN7GT, Nippon Electric 6SN7GT (PRC rebrand), Nippon Electric 6SN7GT (although looks identical to -GTB).



And the two types of RFT tubes. If anything, the PRC-rebranded NEC 6SN7GT looks more similar to me with it's solid plates, but I think it is just coincidence.

Makes sense, godspeed sir.

I have a quad of Channel Master Japanese rebranded 6SN7GTB which I was able to identify as NEC tubes. Here is a current offering:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Channel-Ma...840402&hash=item3b32e82090:g:gvYAAOSwTO9c-uXg

Some Siemens tubes labeled Foreign were made in Japan, but the ones I have are not suitable in the GOTL.

Great price to give a Japanese driver a try. I like them a lot, but have not rolled them through the GOTL yet, I am working my way through some pentodes at the moment, these Mullard EL32s are pretty darn good sounding...

Fred, according to Ken, there's no cure. Don't waste you $.
