Waking up now from a dreaded night shift with a half functioning brain, I will roll the tube du jour to save myself from making a choice, Brimar. GOTL, bring me back to life!

Great trio of tubes right there!

The Brimar 13D1 is a heck of a driver tube if you can find it for a good price...the beauty of the 25 Volt Switch

What an amazing collection of tubes you have Stavros.

You have no idea!!!! I got a Woodie after Stavros showed me his Raytheon VT52 box plate new in box pair.

Definitely one of the greatest features of the amp! For anyone new to the GOTL, these are the three 25V drivers that can be used. All are fantastic and lean warm to my ears.

I would say in terms of increasing warmth for me, they go Brimar 13D1 < RCA 1633 < Ken-Rad 1633. The low end on the Ken-Rad is very satisfying, but I think the 13D1 is still my favorite.

Is anyone aware of any other 1633 makes?

This Raytheon 5CU4 is a pretty sweet rectifier. Love how you can see the filaments above the top mica.

Here's the 5CU4 with some Quad GEC 6080 action:

Nice pictures!!

I recall you have tons of cans.

I wonder if you can drive the Abyss 1266 phi whatever with the GOTL?

I have the original Abyss 1266. Haven't tried it with the GOTL yet. Maybe I'll throw in some 6336's and give it a go.

Begin with 6as7g, follow by 7236/5998, then 421A, and finally the 6336. Use high-gain drivers as well. That will be a wonderful test of the power of GOTL.

No knock on the GOTL,but I would seriously shocked if it can rock the Abyss.
