Sakuma style in the days of Felik Audio Elise. Russell Crowe approved.

Remember trying this as well - was not impressed with all EL3N in the Euforia. Maybe it needs specialized circuits to work well?

For sure. That was just for fun. A lot of pentodes and beam tetrodes were used as strapped triodes in Euforia- an OTL that really should be using 6sn7 and 6as7.

However Hypnos1 deserved credit not for using those tube in Euforia but for highlighting those power tubes.

EL38 and EL39 became more adopted because of that.

I had a listen of 6s3p-dr and EL39 again, the combination that Albert loves. Great tone. 6s3p-dr is all about clarity. Who doesn't love clarity.

Here is a review of 6s3p-dr and a list of EC86 that I had read sometime ago.

Best news is the price but you have to buy in lots of 100, 500, 700. :relaxed: Mine is exactly like those in the link below with that blue and yellow box.
See how it is written in russian.

Miflex > 6BW4 > 6060T Brimar > EL12 Spez. 🎶🎵👂😍

In fact, I particularly liked the "3D effect" of the previous combination with 6S3P as the driver tube, but I find the ton much more impressive with this combination, consisting of Miflex > 6BW4 > 6060T Brimar > EL12 Spez.
Unfortunately I don't have access to Matt's toy box, there would certainly be a lot more possible, although I am absolutely satisfied with my modest possibilities.

By the way, I notice that the majestic effect of UltimatE can hardly be captured in a photo, which is a shame.
