ebay is usually the best place to check for their products.

OK, I received the replacement today, amazingly fast shipping. My replacement is brand new and in perfect condition. It works perfectly too so now I'm burning it in.
I must say that Little Dot's customer service has been spectacular. Dave has always answered my emails and made sure I was satisfied. He also sent me a pair of Mullard M8161's for all my troubles.

 Those M8161's are excellent, IMHO! That really blows me away! It seems like they keep getting better and better at handling customer service!

I think the M8161 are Dave's favorite tubes, it seems like he recommends it for most people.

This is my first tube amp and so far, with the stock tubes, I am loving it. It's not even burned in yet and I just love how it sounds. I can't wait to start rolling in the M8161's.

It's true! I have always liked their special sound. I'm guilty!

I just bought these:
PAIR MULLARD 8161 CV4015 EF92 6CQ6 UNUSED BOXED
Do you guys like them BETTER than the EF95 series, or are they just DIFFERENT?
I'd say over the stock tubes I'd like to hear a bit more low end and fullness...

I couldn't really say I like them better than all of the EF95's, but I do like their rich sound when I'm in the mood for it.

RICH - That's a good word which I think describes what I want too. I have high hopes for these, I can't wait!

The last set of 6CQ6's I purchased, took about 45 hours to mature. The change in sound signature from out of the box to fully matured, was substantial, so you should expect it, to some degree.
The EF92s don't behave the same way EF95 compatibles do during burn-in. All in all, it is great fun listening to EF92's as they mature. The first 2-3 hours can really be amazing! I highly recommend listening if you have the time.

I'm thinking about buying a LD MkIII, based on this thread... I'm wondering if anyone has heard it with AKG K 601's? I made the mistake of buying 601's without realizing I would need an amp to drive them, and I don't want to make another mistake in buying an amp that won't drive them properly. Thanks in advance for any thoughts on the pairing.
