At the moment I only have a Tung Sol BGRP.
Awaiting a NOS Brimar & a NOS Mullard ECC35.
Which headphone are you listening to?

I am not using my BA at the minute as I am evaluating some new tubes.
 
With the BA I use the LA7000 XLR or Grado GS1000 APS V3 XLR.

First of all, I HATE YOU:)
 
And now, tell us, where the hell you got them from?
 
This thread is nothing without pics.

Wow, the VAICs are magical!!!!
Am listening with my HD800(Blue Dragon Balanced)
Source is Esoteric K01.
Kubala Sosna Fascination balanced interconnects.
 
Treble is extended but without any harshness or glare. Just the right amount of energy. 
Bass is textured but the less in quantity compared to the EAT300s 
BUT the vocals are simply SENSATIONAL.
 
More to come later. Too busy enjoying

After the 6SN7's , 6F8G's, ECC35 or 6SL7's   you may try tube rolling of the power tubes which I find that
they also significantly change the sound and I enjoy that very much too.   You may try WE300B but they are
very expensive but I don't think you have any problem on that from the gears that you have acquired recently.
Marconi PX25 and equivalents are also excellent.   Marconi PX4 and equivalents along with the RE604 and equivalents
and AD1 can also be used with adapters. All of those tubes produce unique sound signature .
 I don't know whether your BA has the PX25 modification or not if you
do have that modifications those may be your next step of exploration.   Please also check that the socket that you
have for the power tubes are UX4 base or B4/B5 base because all those tubes (except WE300A/B) may need the B4/B5
socket and for the AD1 you need the AD1/UX4 or B4/B5 adapter before purchasing the tubes.   Please also be careful
to use the corrrect settings switch (300B/PX4 switch) before the use of those tubes.

That's highly presumptuous
