What’s a Woodie ?

That's the name of Glenn's wooden amp, duh. He must've brought it with him to Greece.

Is this a legit Telefunken 6080? Very cheap.

The tubes in this listing are the real deal. Not cheap though, but you can see the construction.

Interesting read. Oh well,the real ones are too pricey for me at the moment.

From what I have read (never heard these tubes) the TFK 6080 tubes are not special sounding.

Helio picked up a pair of RCA 6080s on my rec for extra depth on the Verite. Being warm sounding already,the RCAs dont really match that well with the Verite by themselves. He tried a combo of RCA/Telefunken 6080s and reported very positive results,hence my looking for a pair.

Synergy is a different ball game. I have had very good results mixing Bendix and RCA 6080 tubes.
My guess is that few amps can handle four 2.5A tubes so we are breaking new ground....

Yea, the Telefunken's aren't really that special by themselves. They do pair nicely with with warmer headphones though as they do have great top end and airiness to them.

But yea, really nice synergy with the RCA and Bendix 6080's.

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

Abyss 1266 phi is a difficult headphone to drive. At the 2017 local audio meet, I had a session with the Abyss on my Ragnarok and it was ok. Rag was powerful enough to drive it. @Sound Trooper reported that his Abyss was well driven by his GEL3N. In the Studio Six thread, reports were mixed as to whether the Six drove the Abyss well, even though the designer says the Six drove his HE6 very well.

If I had the Abyss, I will drive it with the Sansui au alpha 907mr, which in a strange twist of fate, is returning to me.
