Hi,
I agree on the burn in time, my pair has been running for quite a while before the sound improved. I picked up a used pair of EF91 mullards cheaply on ebay. I also have a pair of EF91 zaerix tubes as well as a bunch of EF92 mullards. They all share one good merit and it is a wide soundstage and a mellow, relaxing sound. Since some definition is lost in comparison to ef95 tubes I listen to them either through speakers or my beyerdynamic dt150s which are not as resolving as the hd600s which I prefer with ef95 tubes and my personal favourite m8100. Actually I don't have favourites carved in stone but different tubes satisfy my ever changing cravings, like one day I like strawberry ice cream but the next day I will eat chocolate one
