Yes, I do. I have a pair.You have no idea how revealing these tubes are.

Staying with 6sn7 and 6as7 / 6080 is ideal on Elise. Total amperes for a pair of 6sn7 and 6as7 is 6.2a.
Elise transformer is capable of handling between 6 to 6.5a.
In long term usage, this matters.
FA specifically designed Elise for 6sn7 and 6as7. I'm more than convined not to touch any other tubes and have no intentions of unloading my non recommended tubes to Elise owners.
Someday I may get an amp that uses those tubes but unlikely. I'm keen on a 2A3 though and may talk to Lukasz about it. If they produced an amp that competes with the likes of the DNA Stratus, there will be buyers..... bigtime.

And of course the lawyer is right again, Lockheed Super Constellation EC121k Radar/Navigation flight tech. Talk about Vacuum tubes, I had more than enough!It's the first three letters of my last name. Not very imaginative, I know, but I've been stuck with it ever since I conceived it to get my first ever email address back in 1992 and I'm too shy—or lazy—to figure out a new one.
I always thought that @connieflyer's handle came from actually flying a Connie.

A play plane?
I am painting the deck today. The railings will be painted camouflage green and the floor boards stained.

I am thinking of painting Yggy Euforia and HD800 camouflage green too.
Green and brown tubes.

Cool rig! I'm sure it's more revealing than UT's C3gs! I'm an architect though, and a poor academic (as per the "poor conductor" joke).And of course the lawyer is right again, Lockheed Super Constellation EC121k Radar/Navigation flight tech. Talk about Vacuum tubes, I had more than enough!

Nothing is more revealing than UT's rig, with or without C3G.
Yggy + Euforia with silver wiring + HD800 has the x-ray capability to shine through your internal organs or project you to Mars. I ain't kidding you. This is the 1st time where I have no remorse spending this big sum of money because the euphoria is real and not imagined. The sensory tissues in the brains are pricked and you will feel it coursing through your body, into every fibre of your being. This is the power of a super sounding system. This is affordable high end.
It's not a paradox. This is revealing as well as natural sounding, that is pleasing to the ears, with no trace of fatigue.

The Eiffel Tower was designed by an engineer. Architects at the time were doing marble facades!Please.... did you not design the Eiffel Tower? Well I design the Sydney Opera House.

Didn't paint the deck because I couldn't buy the paint on time. Good excuse to sit down for a good listen to my favourite album - The Wall by Pink Floyd on CD.
The helicopters sound are so real. The children's laughter and chatter so real. It's like I'm in the soundscape. Euforia with these tubes have a rich harmonic texture - that is the best way I can describe it. Rich, clear and vibrant. Layers of comfort wool and yet so transparent. I have never sat down with GEC 6as7g for such a lengthy listen. These tubes are the real gems and I hope my pair last for eternity. Wait I need to get another one to pair with my solo GEC square brown base.
Now I know why the 'Crow' (guy who lend me his GEC 6as7g at the meet) told me he only use GEC 6as7g on his Woo Audio Wa2.

I'm going to my son's place for dinner tonight. I'll swap my Elise with the La Figaro 339 for a week.
I need to hear that beast with GEC 6as7g and Mullard EF86 again. LF 339 is another incredible sounding amp. So many amps, so many tubes, only one pair of ears..... so sad.

Yesterday I spent the whole day out of the office, namely away from the Elise. Today I'm back to cover for yesterday's work and here I am reporting on the Sylvania 6sn7w. They are very resolving. Impressive! Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Trio sound three-dimensional, to the point that I feel confident to estimate the place of the microphones in the room! Once it hit me, I immediately forgot how the 6sn7wgt sound. Strange. I'll get back to them in another time. Final comparison and conclusions pending, but at this point I believe it can't be far from general consensus.

I am surprised you didn't hear the conductor farting.... or you choose not to hear that? I'm glad you find the 6sn7w resolving. That's like saying that Yggy is resolving.
I've again surpassed myself by writing another masterpiece in Euforia's thread. I believe in 6sn7 and 6as7 now. ............ and the 'like' counts keeps increasing. At $3 a like, that's $2700. More than enough to cover the cost of Yggy.

You have no idea how revealing these tubes are. I might find the courage to plonk it in Elise and have a listen... time to up sell the tubes I want to sell.
These are some of the most transparent driver tubes , for transparency they are probably unmatched....they will make any power tube sound superb.
