All of my listening has been done with EL3N drivers. My ranking could certainly change with different drivers. But for now I’m through ranking tubes and back to listening.

 
Now that you've done the listening test, you have to do the touch test with your fingers .... when the tubes are powered.

Speaking of both, I now tried for fun to mix a RCA 6080 and TS 7236 as power tubes. By sliding my balance control I can A/B the tubes. As charming as the RCAs are, the TS is better. Either one sounds good, and the RCA 6080's are very enjoyable with excellent mid bass. However,a direct comparison gives the edge to the Tung Sol 7236 with more detail and clarity. (Although sometimes all the detail tires me.)
 
Anyhow, everything sounds good with the Elise - time to enjoy the music and switch off the analytical mode......
 
UT, my TS reads 119C and the RCA 125C

Not yet, When i will sell my T1, i will buy Elise right away! Now that i got HD800S, T1 is collecting dusts. Soundstage is really amazing out of Sennheiser HD800S! Cant go back to lesser soundstage.

Correct that out of head experience. HD800s will give you that and more. It's a tough one though. T1 sounds very good on some music. I suggest you buy Elise first then try both headphones with her before you sell off your T1. You might end up keeping both.

I can't get this Cuban song out of my head. This version sounds good.

I tried. They seemed hot. But will require much more long-term touching to reach any solid conclusion. I'll get to that as soon as I'm released from the hospital.

I had a girl friend that used to tell me that too.......

Sorry about that, old age let my mind wander a bit, I see we are still talking about tubes, not ahhh  well tubes it is!

I wonder where @doofalb is? I hope he hasn't finished that bottle of red.
 
I would have expected the review to be tabled here this morning. Perhaps they sleep in, in Hawaii.

Knew they were good for something!  Seems like there was more, but mind must have lost that info

Don't you realize we're supposed to be in mourning for the next 9 days???? Really cool recording, by the way

I'm cycling through my tubes from now to Christmas. The countdown to Christmas is on. There will be a new jingle everyday.
