Hi Oskari,
 
Hope your ankle feels better - here is a picture of my favorite Scotch:

While we are waiting for the new wunderkind amplifier on the block, I just wanted to provide a little entertainment with the help of the Google search engine.
 
I also searched for the most expensive vacuum tubes on Ebay, but could only find tubes for a couple of thousand dollars. Last year I found a pair of WE 300B tubes that went for 13,000.......

Hi,
 
Speaking of the two prospective 6SN7 driver tubes for the Elise amp, it is still unclear to me how they are going to be used. Glenn suggested that they will be wired in series with each other.
 
For about 18 months I used a pair of 6N6P-IR tubes as power tubes in my Little Dot MKIII. Afterwards I switched to 6SN7 tubes (and later to 6AS7/6080 tubes) with better results.
 
At one point I decided to take one of the IR tubes and use this dual triode as a driver. I was surprised to hear one channel noticeable weaker than the other, and got the same result when I used the second one. (When used as power tubes I could not hear any difference in volume.)
 
Can anybody explain this?
