Been using these 2399's for a few days and they are absolutely wonderful, warm, harmonic and yet dynamic, detailed, spacious, layered, transparent, every driver I've used has sounded better than I ever heard them, it seems to draw out more of a driver and just make them sound better, whether it be Tung Sol gtb, Syl gtb, RCA gt, 53 Foton, even my C3G's, which I've found a bit clinical in the Elise now sound fantastic, but best of all are the EL3N'S, rich and warm, detailed and with great slam, these 2399/5998 really seem to beef up the sound, I paid more for them than I intended but quite frankly when they sound this good I don't regret it!

And you will enjoy them for years to come! Congrats!

Enjoy, sir!!

EL3N and 5998 made me do this outrageous review.

Thanks for the link to your review UT, an excellent review, you've put it far more eloquently than I can, I can merely agree and echo what you have said, if I had to use one word to describe the 5998/EL3N combo it would be IMMERSIVE.

You're welcome Scutey. That was done at a time when I was younger at heart and when my enthusiam in head-fi was at it's peak.

Glad you are enjoying Elise.

Cheers

A pair of circa 1943 Sylvania 6SN7W

Might be the best sounding 6SN7 tubes for Elise. They have distinct and clear bass, retrieve lots of detail and are smooth and good, throughout the audio spectrum.

Not cheap, a good pair will probably run about $100.00 USD, but in my opinion, you would not regret the purchase.

For those seeing themselves outpriced by the recent price shift, I'm selling my Elise. Feel free to make a reasonable offer!

Received RCA 6080 powers today. Paired with the stock upgrade PSVane drivers is a perfect match! Every single voice and instrument is done so naturally. A holographic soundstage. Great detail yet never analytical IMO. It covers all genres almost perfectly.

I can't see it sounding any better. This might be the end for me. At least for a while. My next purchase will be big $$$ tubes.

Very nice, canthear...I love my Mullard 6080's...they add romance and details to the mids that is lovely.

I do suggest socket savers as spacers with them. They run quite hot at the base and really heat up the amp. Use of the spacers keeps the deck and critical components below...cooler.

Enjoy!!

I did find some on e Bay but they look cheap. Do you know of any "quality" savers?

Edit: nevermind I found them.

For your next purchase, I'd recommend a pair of Tung Sol 6F8G with these adapters and a pair of GEC 6080.

Awesome! Much appreciated!
How do the tubes sound? I prefer a clean, borderline analytical sound.

Hi Scutey....glad you're liking the 2399s, and that they bring out more from all your drivers. Glad too that you're enjoying what the EL3Ns are capable of delivering...Glenn, of Glenn amps, was so impressed with this tube that he made one specifically just for it, with a very expensive Lundahl transformer as output! If ever it sounds a tad too warm, then I heartily suggest the sister Telefunken-designed EL11 (needs a different adapter), which I and others have found can sound even better (more balanced) overall...but which shine best of all when driving the top-anode EL12 Spezial lol!! ....ENJOY!!...CJ

Hi chy...@UntilThen's recommendation of the 6F8G sure is a good one...and they look very impressive too lol

@SnapperMusicFan has posted a really nice photo of his own tubes adorning his Euforia...take a look!! :

Not quite clean, borderline analytical sound. That will require a solid state amp.

However it is clear, detail and dynamic with the right touch of tube warm. I have the same adapters as shown on this guy's blog. http://eardrummer.pl/2016/11/20/recenzja-wzmacniacz-feliks-audio-elise-otl/

It looks as good as it sounds.
