Try some Mullards (CV 4010) also. Very warm and engaging tubes.
Those impressions are thrilling...I can hear your enthusiasm. You haven't by any chance heard the Bottlehead Crack? I'm not a DIYer so the ALO Pan Am is sooo tempting...
[COLOR=333333][SIZE=11.5pt]To me default Chines tubes sounds better than upgraded Siemens tubes. What are your thoughts on Siemens tubes vs default ones vs Russian ones?[/SIZE][/COLOR]
My favorites are the Voshkods, Mullards and Cifte's, and not in any particular order. Each sounds best matched to particular headphones. I love the Cite tubes with DT880's; the Mullards with various Senns and the Russian tubes with LCD-3's and D2000's
