A quick update on MY UltimatE:
Last night I paid my deposit and finalized the specs / config with Eric. So I am officially in the queue (I was there to be honest, but now it is a little more real).
Plan is for Eric to complete the build when @UntilThen is back from his holiday, so he can burn-in and test my UltimatE.
(Matt, that means extending your holiday is not acceptable!! )
You were always in the queue. If I extend my vacation, it will be by 2 weeks. Not sure what I want more. My vacation or getting my hands on a Super Ultimate.
I will get my hands on a Super Ultimate though. Bryant will be the guinea pig. It should turn out very well. Nothing much is new except for the 6J5 sockets but that is the part I'm interested in. I'm curious how the best of single triodes will stack up against the best of double triodes. It's the only reason I gave up on the wooden Ultimate.
Dan sent off the tubes and eta is 18th July.

Whisper is awesome!!! Due to its location (living room) - I actually use it more than my bigger / more expensive amps. Such a beautiful soundGreat!

Eric is a real asset for this community. An Aussie national treasure for sure!

I totally agree. Always best to take them out of their boxes first.I've an OCD in me. Seeing this gives me the chills. You cannot just throw all of them in a box.

Can you at least put them in the washing machine?

So far the highlights include a bunch of 6sn7's, 6v6's, 5998 (single) some random 6080's and a gz34... Lots of trash though...I can't believe this. What tubes are those. Any good ones?

Yeah, I keep all my extra 27s in a clothes hamper. Much classier I think!
Interesting. I wonder if 27 can be used in Ultimate... will check with Eric.
