Did you use the adapter with the Glenn otl?

No she didn't.
It will work fine in the OTL I am just saying it would be easier on the power supply if pins 1 & 8 are reversed with the 422A

I will be at Axpona all three days - I hope to see some of you guys there.

That would be pretty awesome. Shoot me a text message and perhaps we can meet sometime over the weekend.

Sounds good, Tim. I'd enjoy that.

You bought the WE422A tube on E-Bay ??????????

  You bought the WE422A tube on E-Bay ??????????

No but I am on a mission to find one. There is a lot of homework to be
done before I purchase. Date codes? Seems they made these tubes for
quite a while. Which ones were the best? I can see it would be easy to enter
the screwdom pit with this tube. Ideally I would like to purchase from someone
that could be trusted. The tube on ebay is being sold by someone for someone
and test a 51 and 52 with a minimum of 40. The seller doesn't bother to post that
on the listing. Anyway I really want to try one but for now I am happy with the
5998's, bgrp and a gz32. thanks

if you like the sound of the GZ32, u can also look at U52.
 
this seller seems to be a good source, hopefully he still has those beautiful brown marbled base tubes.

Thanks, by the way I am still enjoying your rectifier review, great reference. I hope I don't flunk retirement playing with these tubes.

If you are using HD800, try the GEC 6080.  They are much better than the 5998 for HD800.

To all who travel on business: I wish my company meetings were held other cities except mine.
My friend, Paul, whom I traveled with to Amsterdam last year is having a 4-day company meeting in Amsterdam on Monday.
Instead, I am going to Powell Street to buy some records this RSD at Rasputin Music.

+1 on that.  Just tried them for three days.  Finally changed the 6336 for the GEC 6080 for fun and was very good even for my orthos.  What it impress me the most was how good it soundstage was.  It didn't have the warm sound of the 6336 but the GEC held its own.  Definitely a tube to keep.

Travel on business is not much fun, usually packed with tight agenda that run from 8am to 6-7pm to get the most of you.  My agenda last week was from 8am to 6pm plus working dinners.  By the time I have it myself is around 9/10pm, the Navy Pier was closed when I got there at Tuesday and we went to Big Bar instead.

Once in a while is good, to get out of routine.  But it's a hassle, airport, tsa, jet lag, taxi, hotel, a hole day listening to lots of talk.  Always gain weight on any business trip (messing up my biking routine, getting drop on the next group ride).  I refer to stay put, listening to tube amped musics at home.

I will be there too with Skylab. I am the good looking one :tongue_smile:
