Bought another pair of GEC 6080 so I can run quad GEC 6080 in the GOTL... for the Verite. This one from a local seller, so it's cheap for a less than 30 hours tubes.

These will create a good amount of heat, but should be killer with low z cans....tone will be much better than with 6336 tubes....IMO.....YMMV

Guys... I like to share that I've sold my Glenn 300B amp (https://www.head-fi.org/threads/sold-glenn-300b-amp.911550/#post-15117835)

And.. I'm happy to report that the buyer is @zach915m of ZMF Headphones. I'm a fan of ZMF headphones, having own every of Zach custom designed model from Eikon/Atticus up to the Auteur (both stock and black wood).
I know the amp pair really well with Zach headphones, and excited that Zach may take this amp on tour, giving everyone a chance to experience Glenn's amp, both OTL and 300B!

Look for Zach table at the next meet to hear both of Glenn's master creations.

Congrats to you Zach... always wanted to hear one of these.

Zach’s going to be in for a good time. ZMF headphones are just an amazing team.

I envy anyone who has a local dealer with desirable tubes. I'd be lucky to find a cracked, rusted GE 6080 at a garage sale.

Congrats @zach915m , he has completed the trifecta of Glenn amps! Looking forward to giving it a listen at ZMFestivus.

It's for the nights when it's minus 2 degrees. Winter's not over yet.

When Winter's over, we can talk about the GEC 6080s

You have to help him carry that 30kgs amp to the ZMFestivus. I wonder if it's this amp because it's a real beauty.

Thanks, Matt, but I have my own pair to keep me warm. Although, I may need pick up a few more to get me through, the Cleveland winter ain't no joke...thunder blizzard is a legitimate form of weather here.

I believe this is the amp that Zach bought.....basically the same amp and a real beauty.

Yep, he sure is.....did you get that Apex Teton by the way

Wondering if anyone's heard/owned the Torpedo 3 and compared to the Glenn amps. Looking to possibly upgrade

I'm so sorry no one attempt to answer your question but I've never heard the Torpedo 3. There are 3 models of Glenn's amp. The OTL, GEL3N (a transformer coupled amp that uses EL3N tubes) and the 300b amp that uses c3g as driver tubes. I've only heard and own the OTL amp and having owned several OTL amps before, I find the GOTL the most dynamic, punchy and fast pace timing of the lot. This is with 6 x 6bx7 or 6BL7 as power tubes and you can pick either a single 6sn7 or pair of c3gs as driver tubes. The bass is taut and tight with excellent control. Imaging is precise and midrange sweet and forward sounding. Treble is well extended but there is no harshness. I find the OTL amp paired beautifully with HD800 and I'll be test driving it with the Verite soon. Oh in the past I find it very nice with both Eikon and Atticus.

Hope that helps.

Here's a picture with Eikon.


and Atticus

If anyone ever spots the twin to my black base MOV A1834, please let me know. Would not mind having a pair of these, but I won't seek them out, prices are too darn high. Until I find one, it lives in my Crackatwoa.

I did. Should be in my hands next week. I’m glad a bunch of tubes are interchangeable between the GOTL and Teton.

Yes, that is great that many tubes will work in both amps.
From all i have heard about the Apex....you just got your self another great amp sir!

Another good shout out for Deyan as I am test driving my AZ12 to 3DG4 adapter that I received from him and glad to report after about 3 hours time it is cool as can be.
Thanks again...Deyan. It runs as cool as the FW4-500 to 3DG4

We'll be tuning in to your summary report when you have sufficient time to compare the 2 amps.
