I'm going to stick with 6SN7, 6AS7G, and 6080 tubes. They sound wow enough for me, and I need to draw the line somewhere so I don't blow a ton of money and time on tube rolling. Also, I don't like the way adapters and such look.
Hi KP,
I think that the whole thing started as a far off suggestion by UT, and then was taken up by hypnos1 who discovered how well they work as drivers in the Elise. Afterwards people saw pictures of amps on the internet using the EL3N as power tubes as well. I think UT asked a Chinese supplier to make the adapters and he pioneered using 6x EL3N in the Elise.
Hope I got the chain of events and the facts right - if not, please correct my impressions.
Thanks for the reply! This thread is not good for my finances.
