2 brand new TEN tubes for my TU-05
 
Now I need to decide which Voltage Stage tubes 1T4 tube will offer the best pairing with those TEN tubes ? ....
 
Any suggestion  in my collection :
 
- Tunsgram 1T4T
- Siemens DF91/1T4
- MAZDA 1T4 (trous)
Telefunken df904/1U4 (diamond base - Berlin made) 
RCA 1U4 (orange printing) : the one you shipped with my TU-05
- Lorenz DF96
- Philips DF96
- Mulard DF96
- Mullard DF91
 
 
(my prefered Voltage Stage tubes are the (1)  telefunken diamond base berlin df96 (2) RCA 1U4 (3) RTF DF97-Modified with Pins 4 & 5 connected together )

For me the Berlin Tele's are the perfect match to the TEN's.
I have tried numerous other combos but it's the Tele's that give the real magic, so much so I have simply stopped tube rolling since getting the TEN's and Tele's, ultra quiet and just the right amounts of everything sonically speaking for my tastes.

thanks a lot ianmedium.  
 
If I have the same result than you with the TEN + Tele's in my TU-05, then my TUR-06 may be on sale soon...

Since getting the glove as well I have simply stopped looking at anything else. Combined with the 05' for my tastes there is nothing that comes close to what I have used as a Benchmark for almost twenty years since hearing it at the Bristol HIFi show in the nineties, The Sennheiser Orpheus.

I still would love to be rich enough one day to get the Orpheus. It's not many pieces of equipment that have had as such a profound effect upon me as the Orpheus. My set up now comes within a degree of the Orpheus and I never thought I would achieve that!

Which headphone do you prefer to use with your TU-05 ?

The T5P's or PFIX's

@bmichels - The 3S4T or 3S4SF is the let´s call it "power save version" , a tube derived from the original 3S4 with half the current needed for filament / heater. all the 3S4T tubes i have sound a little bit more airy and analytical but at the cost of less bass and bass texture.

As Dr. ianmedium ordered: TEN + Tele's

   Breaking cession now...will comment later.
 
But Ian, is it the DF96 Telefunken the one you suggest or is it the DF904 instead ?

I will be interested in your thoughts on the combo!
