Yes I use Tungsram E88CC (red label, mil/industrial, 1965, 1968 years) and USSR 6N6P (1978 year) Regal mod (for 6922/6DJ8) applied. Also I modify heater wiring (like "star" topology) with each tube heater wires shielded. All heater shields connected with main star ground bolt.- LV26

No yet. I haven`t DT880 at this moment I`m waiting for delivery. You wrote about totally removed NFB (and NFB potentiometer too) or using minimum NFB with DT 880. Are any sound difference really BIG? No NFB vs Minimum NFB- LV26
