Why give up buying tubes? It's a hobby.

5A/152M Output tubes, GEC CV1135 Divers, Marconi EZ81/U709 Rectifier
Yes , my bad just correctedThose are 5a/254a. Both 254m and 254a are excellent in Ultimate. Deya's adapters for 5a/254m might be coming tomorrow.

LOL, yep 807 is much easierSee I'm typing it wrongly myself. 5b/254a. These alpha and number names drives me nuts.
Lastly, I tested some headphones, then gave them all away, only to finally pick up the HD800s again, whose sound when connected to UltimatE leaves practically nothing to be desired. The 6S3P with 5B/254M are a good starting point.
Hopefully @Zachik gets some free time and can update the wonderfull Tube Compatibility spreadsheet with all these 807 variants .

OH has he , shame . I have a crap memory and find it invaluable . Might try to do it myselfNo he has quit. This job is too hard. It's constantly changing. You don't need a spreadsheet. Everyone should be an expert now. Every tube and adapter should be at fingertips.
I know of someone who has some of the best tube amps (Eddie Current 445 is one of them) and he has only one headphone - HD800.
Congrats on the 5b/254m and the adapters while they are still available.
