C3G are very nice with TM.
Very clear and detailed w/o sibilance or harshness. These may be up there with the top tier G73-R (and other 12AU7) as well as several of the better 6J5G and 6F8G. Very high output compared to any other driver I have tried.

Unfortunately I had bad luck with the G73R.
They sent me some other Telefunken 802S

Guess I won't be joining the Club after all

I'm proud owner of these nice adapters though.

What do. You mean? They accidentally sent you the wrong tubes, or misrepresented what they sold you? Got your Money back, I hope!

Noop question: I bought some eml 300b mesh tubes, now I’ve found that sticker on top. Is it safe to use them in my envy?

Best to email Feliks Audio.
I think you’re right, I emailed them. I let you know here for later reference. Thanks 😘

I've been using the EML Mesh 300b for few months now with no problem. Compared to the Elroy ER/Mo they lack some bass extension but excel with female vocal.

I asked them for
Telefunken G73R / ECC802S

They probably checked their inventory and found
Telefunken ECC802S
And sold me those.

It's a trustworthy Shop so I'm not worried about my money.
However It's a bummer that I can't join the G73R club

Oh nice, have you asked the feliks team if the tubes are compatible? The thing that scares me is that they say max 28w with a big red sticker.

Also the contained letter reads like a „lot can go wrong“.

My dealer said I have to test them because they are really good.

Sorry for all those noob questions, can’t wait to test them, but I’m a bit scared

No I haven't asked Feliks about it. But reading the forums on the web I got the impression they should be ok for headphone amps (as opposed to speaker amps). I had some pops and crackles during the first 40 hours but they're dead quiet now.

Don't forget to follow breaking in instructions to run them at low volume and short sessions.
