Those are lovely brand new EL12N. I regretted not ordering for myself after recommending them to you. Enjoy !
They have more you know!

The magical sound of Mullard ECC35 with Siemens C3G. When you have Mr Clarity meeting Mr Texture. The best of British and German tubes on an Australian amp with USA Audeze LCD5 headphone. :)

I have not heard a better sound. Tears of joy streaming down my face.

Using Raytheon 5751 Windmill and RFT EL12N now. This is a stunning combination. Haven't used EL12N for a while but very impressed now. Just ordered myself a new pair because what I have is an old pair.

All my EL12N are old pairs. They come under many names but they are all the same.
Well, there is a difference- some have a brownish getter flash instead of silver.

I know they have more but I'm suffocating with tubes here.
My last few days have been sorting through a lot of NOS tubes I acquired... Plenty of tubes that would work in the ultimate so far (I have a dozen set aside for testing) plus some that will work in my Glenn OTL. I have 2 more large bins completely full of unboxed tubes to go through, I totally understand suffocating in tubes lol

A quick update on MY UltimatE:
Last night I paid my deposit and finalized the specs / config with Eric. So I am officially in the queue (I was there to be honest, but now it is a little more real).

Plan is for Eric to complete the build when @UntilThen is back from his holiday, so he can burn-in and test my UltimatE.
(Matt, that means extending your holiday is not acceptable!! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:)

I've an OCD in me. Seeing this gives me the chills. You cannot just throw all of them in a box.
