Yeah crazy what those GOTL amps can do, he definitely has a big following. He is tough to get ahold of these days. I have had only one response from him in three months. Have you heard from him?

I'm not talking up about how configurable it is. What impressed me is 6 x 6bx7gt or some nice pairs of 6080 / 6as7g or 6336. GOTL is very unique in it's tone and I love it. That despite hearing Studio Six, Wa22 and the other competitors.

If you're trying to get onboard now, it's probably too late unless you're willing to wait, wait, wait. DNA Stratus has a long queue too but it's getting better to 6 months. That's what Donald told me and I'm still trying to get my hands on that Smurf.

I have a Glenn amp and like it a lot, but you might have better luck with Mischa at the moment - although I hear his waitlist is also expanding.

I think Mischa also created another thread, but I can't seem to find it...

@UntilThen - Did you put your order in for a DNA yet? I know you wanted one and it was on your wish list. I used to build little electronic science projects in high school and they all used that blue color box. I built a Tesla coil with one.

I spoke to Donald before Christmas about the Stratus and he told me that all parts of the present Stratus are spoken for with confirmed orders but he told me he's working on an improved model that sits between Stratus and Stellaris and once that is designed, waiting times will be 6 months at least.

So I insist that the new model be call UntilThen - you hear that @bcowen and @Old Deaf Donkey ?

That's why I'm trying to get to know Mischa better like add him to my Linkedin. Failing that I'll have to learn how to create my own tube amp.

Thank you for this. Although I am not in the market right now for a new amp I will read these threads and keep Mischa in mind.

Perhaps appropriate, but no audiophile worth his salt has the patience to wait Until Then. 6 months? 6 days is a stretch for me. After 6 months I'd probably forget I'd even ordered it. Or what I ordered it for.

We'll all keep our fingers crossed that you can build on the relationship with Mischa. The alternative could cause Australia to blow up, and none of us want to see that.

We're meeting half way in Guam. That way only an island will blow up.

LOL! But wait...isn't Australia an island? I mean a really big one, of course. But if it blows, I'll have nowhere to drive your golf cart into the lake.

 

[UntilThen]

You must know the difference between an island and a continent. You can try to drive that golf cart from Sydney to Perth if you can find charging station along the way.

and btw where's @L0rdGwyn we're really going off topic 3 pages ago.

He's probably patiently waiting for us to get back on topic, and rolling his eyes UntilThen.

I think he mentioned he was doing another all nighter at work. God bless him.
