Just saw this ad on head-fi sales....I have for sale my beloved like new Feliks Audio Elise.  I received it in November 2015.  It is serial number 30.  Comes with stock tubes.  Shipping is included in the price.
 
His is number 30 and received it in Nov 2015, at this rate my number 50 is a long ways off.  He wants $750 for it, might be worth it to buy it and cancel the one on order.

As far as I know, selling on Head Fi for more than you paid, is not allowed. You could use this as leverage.

Ask F.A. it is possible to cancel your order at any cost and if you will benefit for premium customer support with a used one.
If you are in a hurry get the used/already burned  one !
 
If you want a brand new one with latest modification and components wait...

Latest modifications lol. I think you'll get gold volume knob and feet.
 
Good point Hpa. Need to find out if warranty is transferable.

Every combo sounds good. This testing is getting to be a nightmare. I'm lost in translations !!!
 
On this now and yeah...Elise has transformed with all these combos.

Waiting for Elise I tried to improve the cosmetics of the big white adapters for EL3N and 6A6 tubes using black heat shrink tubing. I feel it turned out really nice and is very easy and quick to do:
 

 

 

 

 
You need super wide heat shrink tubing for this but that can be bought on ebay. http://www.ebay.de/itm/161806635900?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
It even fully fits over the huge ceramic 6A6 adapter top, but I kind of like that part so ended up covering only the lower plastic part. The cutting edge in the lower photo looks a lot better in real life. I'm sure it will look great on the semi matte Elise paint.

I used a heat gun (for removing paint) but that will work too. Just make sure not to overheat anything (most parts are plastic).
 
When cutting away the material that sticks out it is best to do that in 2 steps. First, take most the material away but stay away from the final edge some 1-2mm. Then cut away the rest in a second run. If you use a fresh wide break away knife and hold it real flat with the surface, the cutting edges come out really nice. Oh, and there is (faint) printed text on one side of the tubing, just make sure that ends up on the back once the adapter is seated.

Same procedure, now with the FDD20 adapters. Before shrinking, I cut out a small hole in the lower part of the tubing with a leather punch to guide the wire through. When shrinking, start around that area and make sure the alignment of that hole with the exit point of the cable is good, then shrink the entire tube. 2 adapters done in 15mins, including trimming of the edges.

You're getting very good with those heat shrink tubing. I once ask Mrs Xu Ling about producing those adapters in black but was told it is costly if it's other than standard grey or white color.
