The clubs are already towed behind. Where else am I supposed to strap in the keg of Bud Light? Adding the Hartley and Heils would mean I'd have to tow @UntilThen behind too, which is a surprisingly good idea that hadn't yet occurred to me.

Bud light?....where’s the Foster’s?.....

Don't forget I have Qobuz and Tidal now. Make sure there's room in the cart for it.

Awwww, man. Now we're gonna have to tow me behind too. Or get a new cart. Please order one with Carolina Blue seats though. I have standards.

...since the clubs are in the lake, you could play ‘marcel Marceau’ golf from the blue tees...

Hilarious Bill. I have to pay you comedian fees now. That's a beautiful cart for groupies. Now when are we straying back to audio? I will take the initiative and show you Destiny's gold front panel.

Great write-up!
It would be helpful if you could tell us which headphones and ancillaries were used as well.

My setup is Tidal --> Gustard X20pro DAC --> HEXFRED GOTL --> HD800 (with Dekoni velour pads for completeness). I ought to put it in my description!

Excellent write-up and technical coverage. Your review kind of sealed the deal that I need to get myself a pair of the older ST L63. I was hoping to be content with just the straight glass brown base, but I believe I'm missing out on something now.

Now I feel responsible for fuelling the tube-buying addiction- always just one more to try....

I am debating brown base L63 now. I have three sets of grey glass coke bottles.

I definitely think that each of the L63 have their merits. It would be worth having a pair of the brown base L63 even with the grey glass coke bottles in hand, especially since they are very affordable!

I don't know @tintinsnowydog and would only be that cruel to someone I know. What was your address again?

Never one to say no to more toobs- GE have great potential and can be turned into GEC with a stroke of a permanent marker

Congrats. Didn't know you had a GOTL. I spend the good part of a year using Yggdrasil, Hexfred GOTL and HD800 and later ZMF Verite LTD Open arrived. I was however most captivated by a single Mullard ECC35 or Sylvania 6sn7w metal base and 6 x 6BX7gt. My first listen of the GOTL was with c3g(s) as drivers and sextet 6bx7gt and that was explosive and dynamite.

@paramesh has my GOTL now. It was a love affair of 2 long years. It was a sale that I would often question myself why? Similar to the Studio Six sale. 2 tube amps sold that would make me reminisce about my time with them.

It was GOTL that made me sell my Ragnarok of less than a year.

Every day you can find GE tubes that sellers list as GEC.

Joking aside, I can see that happen as an honest mistake born from ignorance by eBay sellers who have no idea about tubes at all.
Totally different when the seller is doing it deceitfully...

See (C) , didn't I tell you that is a GE ? but obviously you didn't C right?

Bud Light and GE tubes. Can life get any better?

Can't get any worse, that's for sure.

Letting go on my GEC 6as7g for the 2nd time at US$500 does seem a mistake now but I've move on from the 6as7 / 6080 range.
