I have a lot of ideas...

But coming up with ideas is an execution in itself, not?

So far of all the 7193 variants the cv1135 has been my favorite as well. Hard to tell from the picture but is the base black or brown?

Are these drop ins on the Airmid or is an adapter needed?

Requires adaptor. Got my set from Deyan and then modified the top caps.

While we are at it, another RWE gem: idea and execution are seldom found in the same head.

I wouldn't agree with this. As a psychologist my specialisation has been performers, people in the arts and creativity in general. The creative mind is very good at generating ideas, but it is also good at getting results from these ideas. What it isn't so good at is steady-state administration which creatives find boring, since they like to jump from one new idea to another and then see the results in practice. So it depends what you mean by "execution". Ideas people are good pioneers but once a project is up and running you need different kinds of people to actually run it, since the creatives will have already moved on or even been sacked from things they started.

Yes, the CV1135 is very good. It's the one that's in my system at the moment, though I'm still tempted by my TDD4 line stage. Mine are black base.

Has anyone compared L63 (GT or ST) to ECC31? Please share your thoughts if you do, TIA!!!

This one is interesting.
L63 ST (smoked) sounds spacious and warm.
L63 GT (brownbase) adds more musical timbre and liveliness.
ECC31 sounds more ‘upfront’, solid with nice live feel and timbre.
If you like space and real sound, go for L63GT.
If you like a solid live sound, try the ECC31.

Thank you!!! I have the ECC31 and like them a lot, looking to try the L63 now

Unfortunately, my amp Line Magnetic LM508, doesnt have enough space for the ST bottle, guess I will just look into the GT bottle with the new smaller adapter. Have checked with the adapter maker and it's a no go for ST bottle. Again, thanks a lot for the input

@mordy has just shared a solution, you can use a socket saver on one of the ST bottle, hence you can insert 2 ST bottles on the smaller new adapter

Revisiting this thread after buying a pair of metal base Sylvania round plates very cheap untested on ebay. Fortunately both are very strong and equal emissions.

They are very clear and quite bright. I'll leave them in for a while to see if the brightness is too much. My recent favourites have been the CV6 types e.g. CV1135. They may go back in. Has anyone else tried these Sylvania metal base VT-940?
