Only had an hour so far, but they are everything I hoped they would be, and the bass is the best I've heard so far in the Elise, JV these bad boys are cookin' and then some!.

Yes sir...I have 5998's (same as yours) and they ARE the bomb and do wonders for juicing up the bass in Elise!

Congrats, sir, and enjoy!!!

Just put my 5998's in with a just arrived pair of JAN 6SN7W...

Umm umm, good!! Bassimus Maximus.

Hi Scutey,

Long time Elise owner here. May I ask you where you did source these, eBay etc? I am looking for a nice pair myself!

Anchor Clanker...

JAN = Joint Army and Navy. We need Gibosi to tell us which years this anchor symbol was used (unless you find the date code somewhere on the tubes).

I will look for a date code tonight, Mordy...

Hi oshipao,

Mine I think, was a one off eBay auction in the UK, I just got lucky, been waiting for the last couple months for some to appear and I was just very determined to win the auction!.
EDIT, apologies if you have already looked but most 5998/2399 tubes are on the US ebay.

JV only had the 2399's going for an hour last eve, tonight they get a full workout!, starting with EL3N's, oh and yes, I intend to enjoy em!, good to hear your enjoying your W's. I think today should be called bass Thursday!

Hello Mordy...

Did find my Date Codes on my 6SN7W's

They are:
D 5 = April 1945
E 5 = May 1945
F 5 = June 1945

The two that had explosive noises present, I notified the seller who said don't bother returning them and he has already refunded me.

They sound really good after running for 90 mins or so...amazing for 73 year old tubes!!

Hi oshipao

I think that is your best bet, if you look once or twice a day, and are patient, I'm sure you will eventually get some, after all I did!. If I see any I will let you know, good luck!.
