30 mins with C3gs and 6 x 6bx7gt and it's singing beautifully with no ill effects. Forgot how lovely this combo can sound. So lively and crystal clear and sweet. Amp is perfect and will stay this way.

The inside of the amp still look perfect after one year. Nice.

Your amp definitely looks fantastic,,,will last you a lifetime...!

Me, running C3g 5998 and 4x 6BX7's and agree,,,WOW!

Glenn very smart to make sure we had C3g sockets in this amp.

Cheers

Actually, I was the one who first asked Glenn to put C3g sockets in an OTL. As usual, he said sure, but he didn't know if they would sound good. lol

You are to be applauded G because nothing will sound like a c3g. It's crystal clear and my ears loves details.

I have a question G. Can a 12AT7 tube be used in a 12AU7 to 6sn7 adapter?

Oh, I see! Well thank you, Ken for suggesting it! They are _the_ premium tube! So dynamic and clean,

You also suggested the ECC804, and I consider that tube to also be superb, Sounds very much like the C3g's as well.

Your years of listening experience has benefited many!

Thanks, again!!

I am interested in this 12AT7. It has a nice box. Well the tube construction looks interesting too. Know anything about this tube?

The tube combo to finish off the weekend is Philips Miniwatt FDD20 with 6 x 6bx7gt. Superb clarity and the bass gets better each time I listen to it.

I'd say it's RFT ECC81 relabeled by Trigon.

Thanks Oskari. That's a surprise. I thought it's a made in England tube.

I should say thank you to all of you guys for the excellent contributions and for making me want this amp more and more!
Can't wait for early next year when budget will be ready and the waiting game to begin

I'll tell you this much Joe. I like the GOTL so much that I'll really consider the Yamamoto sockets if I am going to send it back to USA.

This amp will be made new and it will stay with me for keeps. With all the tubes I've collected, I'm not letting this amp go.

Heck no, don't let it go! You already have all of the tubes you would ever need, and damn good ones at that.
This is the amp that you dreamed about!

I understand your thinking, it is a lot of money for tube sockets, but you know how much you love it and it will be with you forever.
They way that you roll tubes I think it would benefit you in the long run.

Glenn's stock sockets are nice, and I only roll tubes once every couple of weeks or maybe even a month at this point. I like the different tones as you do

Are these Chinese adapters for side pin tubes??
The Chinese side pin tube sockets are terrible. They work for the first couple of times removing the tubes then the sockets are lose making bad contact.

Yes sir,so easy to insert and fit is solid. No need to mess with the side pin contacts on these sockets.

Yes, and look how that turned out. Put these in the drivers seat and all power tubes sound good!
Being able to use them with no adapter is wonderful.

I bought 3 pairs of NOS c3g in their original boxes. In the early days (that's almost a year ago), 2 pairs always hums or oscillates so I don't use them much. I kept it aside. Now I pull them out and try them all. They are all quiet now ! What happen?

So with 3 pairs of c3gs, they will outlive me.

Yes you can use the 12AT7 in the 12AU7 adapter no problem.
