Just arrived today - a thing of beauty - superb build quality and looks.
 
Thank you Justin - well worth the 15 month wait for such a unique product.

Probably a bit early to think about that - maybe after it settles into its new home. Just installed some 1950's Philips Miniwatt metal base EL34's - an immediate and tangible improvement
 
 
 

 
 
Justin has said quite a few are going out these two weeks so hopefully your BHSE will be in that group. Shipment is very fast - Fedex notification on Monday and delivered UK Wednesday lunchtime.

Are EL61 interchangeable with the EL34s for the BHSE?

I'm aware that the EL61s were the predecessors of the EL34s, have the same construction and are very similar. Not sure how close they are in terms of their electrical properties though. Also, from what I understand the BHSE is quite sensitive in terms of what tubes are inserted and the instructions clearly dictate that only EL34s and 6CA7 tubes should be used. I'm sure Justin could provide more guidance on this matter than me if required.

Fair point there. I suppose the EL61 won't work or it would ultimately fail or the BHSE would...lol

I received the BHSE and I can only say that is impressive, I listen to the SR009.

Are you using the stock Mullard tubes ?

My BHSE should be with me In 4 weeks exactly

I will use It with a SR009, and I am still hesitating between the stock Mullard or the shuguang that Justin can both provide or... ??

Hello, I am using as Justin has commanded there will be time to change, and you have little to enjoy your BHSE,
