There is no spec page. The 300B is not made for the HD650. You should go for Glenn's OTL amp, success guaranteed


There is no spec:eek:
I started reading from page 1 when I found this in Woo thread..and now on pg 17... Think I'm interested..
Accidentally click onto this page and found the above..

And I have some questions and hope Glenn and others can answer
1 So how many amps does Glenn make and in balance config too?
2 is it available for international buyers?
3 how much is the cost per models ?... Basic set
4. I'm user of Beyer t1 and now added a Hifiman he560, sold off my heavy he500
Which amp is suitable for me?...
Listening genres are : new age, jazz , classical rock and some classical music ( still trying to appreciate this)

pS: can only read 10 pages.. My eyes are getting too tired for an old guy
Also I'm planning to audition wa22, never heard of it
But I'm using little dots mk 6+ fully balance.

I loved the MK6+, it was a good amp for the money.  Powerful enough to handle all orthos.  But if you'll already noticed it better suited for orthos and not high impedance phones like the T1.
For that LD makes a MK8 I think.  
 
It would be better if you just PM Glenn and talk to him about what you want in your amp.

1 I really make 3 amps the OTL  a 300B  and a 300B with Lundahl transformers    OTL base price  $650     300B base price $1500   300B with Lundahl transformers base price $2500
   None are balanced there really are no balanced tube amps all are solid state.
 
2  All amps are 115/230 volt and I do sell international.
 
3  The best amp for the T-1 is the OTL

rndell your amp looks so good, pleased you like it.
Have you got the 5998 mod?

The 5998 mod is a switch on the back that switches from 6AS7 to 5998 or 6336.
It puts the proper bias for a 5998 making it sound better then it would biased as a 6AS7.
It still sounds good run as a 6AS7but why not bias it right improving the sound further.

Handy thing!

Also the 5998 switch allows the use of low impedance phones if you use 6336 output tubes.

For me this is a major + point regarding Glen's OTL as normally you can use only high impd cans with OTL's.

It does make the 5998's sound better than if run as 6AS7G's.
Not many OTL's are biased correctly for the 5998's so to me it's a nice mod to have.

Is the 5998/6336 switch now standard on your OTL's?


It is a extra I leave out these parts out to keep the price down.
It sounds pretty darn good stock.

The OTL is worth every pennies, just spend another $250ish for better tubes and you will have a kick ass amp.

I am thinking seriously about doing just this.....pairing with ps audio nuwave dac & HD800

This means Grados could actually work quite well with this switch........this is looking better and better

Glenn has mentioned that only high current rectifiers should be used ( 3DG4, GZ37 & WE422A ) in such case i.e. for driving low impedance phones by using the 5998 switch with 6336 output tubes
