You’re back. Where you been?

I've been drinking whisky.

You’re back. Where you been?

I'm actually thinking of my babies coming home. I received this from Stavros. He did a Word document with photos of the GEC 6as7g. It's almost perfect !

It's travelled all the way from Greece to Sydney.... then to USA and then back to Sydney. It's travelled more than me.

Here it is.

Been listening to Steve Tibbetts all night. He is an acoustic guitar player, New Age/Ambient-ish,
The RCA 6C5's are superb for this. Can't believe how good $2 driver tubes sound.

RCA 6C5's and a six pack of 6BL7's...make the GOTL sing!

 

[JazzVinyl]

You can see the two red wires at the base of the tubes, used to jumper pins 1-8 to silence the 6C5's...

Cheers!

Got off early, so of course time for some late night jams. Now with a pair of 6AS7G, I can run the official @2359glenn all GEC setup, L63 and 6AS7G, sounds so good.



Never want to be without a pair of these tubes.

One more photo for tonight then off to bed, has to be some fancy tubes for post 1,500. Thanks to the Glenn threaders for the good conversation (and feeding my tube addiction)

Pinkies out: Mullard ECC32 and GEC 6AS7G.

Which do you prefer best ?

GEC 6AS7G and Mullard ECC32 is exceptional

GEC 6AS7G and GEC B36 seemed like to much goodness to me after a long while of listening...it was fine for short sessions

We went from $2 ea 6C5 drivers, to a $1,500 tube compliment on the same page!! The GOTL was said to sound outstanding, with both.

For those GEC L63s, I think those would be "clear glass, shouldered shape. "
I can see other GEC options available as "Grey glass, shouldered shape" or "Straight sides, clear glass.".
Clear + shouldered I assume preferred ? Are there any other important GEC L63 qualifiers to look for?

Mine are Grey glass shouldered that I got from Langrex in UK. Love them

Hmmm, very good question Joe...like making me choose my favorite of my children!!

I think I still prefer the MOV L63, but they are both exceptional no question. Never got my hands on a B36 or B65, curious how similar they are to the L63.

Hey Chris - the gray glass shouldered shape are preferred. If you see listings for clear glass shouldered shape, they are either rebranded STC/Brimar tubes, or they are later GEC with clear glass and a sort of squished T plate. The earliest Marconi-Osram L63s are gray and shouldered like in the pic I posted, but the Brimar and later GECs are also very good tubes, can't go wrong with any of them.

Can't wait to get the Verite Closed, will probably place an order with Zach in Jan or Feb! Sounded amazing on the GOTL and the 300B.
