Come to Australia, Xcalibur and bring your KT150 amp when it's ready.

Nice....what sockets are those for the 841's ?

They are CMC teflon sockets, the poor man's Yamamoto I think they are pretty nice though, for the price.

I always knew I have the foresight. Question - is this the Auris Nirvana contender? I.e at least 6 watts into 32 ohms ? How about make it 8? Got to drive those Tannoy Wesminster !

Nope, this amplifier will put out a measly 0.5W! How will it power anything? I am told certain headphones require 15W amplifiers these days to be "driven". Maybe I am overconfident, but I think this amp will sound better than the sneeze glass amp.

I need transmitter tubes to power my IEMs, and make sure there's no hum either mister!

 

[L0rdGwyn]

I think that's all for today, didn't get super far but it's a start! Filament supply is nearly done, will take it up again this weekend.

For those headphones, I'll use my Sansui au alpha 907mr or Redgum Rgi120enr. I'm actually not keen on a combination speaker/headphone amp. I like to keep those 2 functions separate. I.e. a dedicated integrated amp or separates for stereo and headphone amps strictly for headphones and a dap for iems but I don't use iems apart for my Senns Momentum wireless earbads.

Thoriated tungsten = mildly radioactive ☢

Thorium is pretty mild all things considered.

Try the voltage regulator tubes filled with krypton gas.

Thought I cross post this from the 339i thread...may be interest here.

Thought I’d share another CP

Nice look inside an Eddie Current amp...real nice.

I've seen the internals of that ec amp before from @Liu Junyuan 's pictures and where's LJ these days?

Bet you haven't seen the internals of my previous GOTL. Work of art I'd say. Glenn created so many more after that. This is the Super 9.

I think I should get another GOTL again.

There's been a few pairs sell for $150 lately, but not all had slotted plates, and didn't test as high as these. Great tubes.

Too late the Bendix(s) are gone now.

Without listening to both

If I were to judge on pure aesthetics I’d prefer the cleaner look of the EC but I haven’t heard either one and not sure I would prefer a does it all amp.

It's cleaner because it uses less tubes. On GOTL there are 7 sockets. Though I haven't heard the EC, it would be hard to beat the 6 x 6BX7gt and a nice 6sn7 sound and Glenn's tuning is amazing.
