Wow... That is an EML 5U4G?

What headphones are you running apart from the ZMFs?

How do you find the ZMFs on it?

So @Velozity when you are ready, can you describe the tonality and sound characteristics of Telemachus?

Fast, slow or in between.
Warm neutral or bright.
Etc

Please expand.

Yes, EML 5U4G mesh. I also use HE6SE when not using the ZMFs. I find the VC seems right at home on this amp. I wasn't sure it would be a great match but it is and I'm so happy that there is synergy. It is so powerful that I literally had goosebumps when I leaned on the volume knob a bit. Lindsey Stirling has never sounded better. I'm waiting until I get a feel for the amp and tubes before going into detail about how it sounds.

Yes I definitely will. Need more time with it as I've only listened for a couple hours. I'd like to roll my 6J5G drivers that I'm very familar with first. And to do that I need to finish my matching adapters.

Here's a cool picture. The one I posted yesterday doesn't do the amp justice to show just how big it is. It makes my GOTL (which is a fairly stout amp by most standards) look very junior.

Having dealt with Glenn and Tomas, you have a great combination there. The persplex cover is a great idea.

A statement amp deserves statement adapters, lol. Just finished these aluminum 6J5-to-6SN7 adapters. Made from Hammond 1550B project boxes and sanded with 320 grit to get the finish. I was going to use Yamamoto sockets but got impatient with Jacmusic, so went with Belton instead. Now I can roll the drivers I'm used to from the GOTL and really evaluate these 300B tubes.

You’re an interesting addition to the team here !!!

For a while, I thought I was looking at a set of Telemachus mono block.

That’s an amazing adapter you made there. Could start a business soon.

I am really glad this Telemachus found a new home, I've seen it in the Classifieds and wondered why the first user was selling it.

Great looking adapters you built there!

I like the table.

Pretty proper adapters!

Beautiful adaptors... Want to start a business?

How do you find high sensitivity headphones on the Telemachus? Especially in low passages?

I can say from my amp, build quality is great, definitely a statement piece.

Great looking amp and you did a great job on those adapters, they look very nice.
I think you made the right decision with the Belton sockets, yamamoto sockets would be pretty expensive for adapters and a bit overkill.

Congrats, that should sound killer!
