There you are, a quartet of EL32 as drivers. A unique preamp using KT120s as output tubes....please note that the EL32 tubes are clear glass ones (LOL)
GOTL? I will be getting mine shortly.Mmm tubes hard to find and then you need four! for drivers. And only 2 output tubes.
I think I skip this amp and look for an amp that needs only one driver tube (but can use up to 6 output tubes).

Hi UT,Congrats Mordy. No more adapters required and you have more than enough tubes to experiment with. I have 3 pairs of EL11, 1 pair of EL12, 1 pair of EL12N and 2 pairs of EL12 spez. All NOS and NIB. Not interested in using them or selling them. I'll put them in a time capsule.
It's been a long road of Darkvoice 336se, Elise, Euforia, La Figaro 339, Ragnarok, Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP, Glenn Super 9 OTL amp and finally by June of 2019, I'll have my DNA Stratus. Then I'll bid farewell to a hobby that is richly rewarding but it's time to move on... back to making the garden grow again and my orchids.
HI h1,Hi Althalus.
That is indeed a lot of drivers lol!... BUT I can understand it, if in a balanced configuration - as it will be in F-A's new 2A3 flagship soon
I personally would never consider a single (double triode) driver (unless for a mono block!) - without separate L/R volume control, one is at the mercy of the the 2 triodes needing to be extremely well matched for good balance, especially as they are probably going to exhaust at different rates over time...NO THANKS!
And as for 6 power tubes...well, if 2 are sufficient for the great DNA Stratus; Eddie Current etc. amps, then that's enough for me (or 4 for balanced)!...

I know, I have to wait till september/oktober.
Maybe you are correct, but so far I see no one think this is negative. You only need to buy one good driver tube instead of two. But I keep the Euforia.I personally would never consider a single (double triode) driver (unless for a mono block!) - without separate L/R volume control, one is at the mercy of the the 2 triodes needing to be extremely well matched for good balance, especially as they are probably going to exhaust at different rates over time...NO THANKS!
Agree too, but some cheap tubes are soso in pairs but better as four and wow as sextet. And when I see the adapters that people use to insert 4 or 6 output tubes on the Elise or Euforia, just to get the best music experience then I think that FA should think about an Elise/Euforia with the option to insert 6 output tubes (and of the transformer that can handle the power). With exception of the 6336, 6x5A is too much..... Unless you want to sit warm in the winter.And as for 6 power tubes...well, if 2 are sufficient for the great DNA Stratus; Eddie Current etc. amps, then that's enough for me (or 4 for balanced)!...

I know Mordy, maybe I was not clear enough.

As I mentioned, the potential for imbalance is real - just look at the readings (if provided!) of many (expensive) used top flight tubes...rarely are 2 triodes almost equal. So one can make his/her own conclusions...(depending on level of paranoia!! 
).).

...CHEERS!...
And I personally would recommend them as drivers driving the same as powers...CHEERS!...CJ
That's a teasing pic h1!, looks substantially bigger than the Elise/Euforia, a STAX output is a real surprise, looking forward to seeing the front in all it's glory!.For those interested in F-A's new flagship 2A3 amp, a taster photo of its (near final) rear...showing the main functions. The front is obviously still top secret (but from Michal Feliks's early design concept, should be quite stunning!).
Note 3 inputs - both RCA and XLR (fully balanced ). Line output is of both types also.
Note also the option for electrostatic headphones (STAX output)...there will apparently be several models available, depending on level of requirement (and price, no doubt!).
Will update further as soon as Lukasz can reveal...CHEERS...CJ
