Looks legit to me. I compared the pics to my BB and couldn’t see any significant differences. You should like them- they sound great!

The price seems reasonable for a pair and they check-off all of the attributes required to be legit 2-hole BB's. They measure well and are from a solid buyer with a good reputation, as well.
(I can recommend this seller as I've purchased tubes from this seller in the past.)
Fantastic. Thanks so much for the confirmation. It will be good to have a spare as well.

1950's RCA 6SN7GT in the Saga (black ladder plates, offset / black base, silver silkscreen) + 7N7 'frankentube' in the Lyr 3 + beyerdynamic Amiron home = happy ears / happy brain! 
I've noticed that stacking tubes with the Saga and Lyr 3 can lend a holographic-like effect to music, even if at the expense of some accuracy, that certainly can enhance the listening experience (liberal use of the word 'can' given the vast number of potential variables).
In this case, I'm listening to various Steely Dan tracks in CD quality FLAC, Foobar2000 / bit perfect -> EITR -> Mimby -> (chain mentioned at the start of this post).
Cycling the Saga between passive and active makes the above mentioned effect very easy to discern. Either way the listening experience is enjoyable but Saga active in this chain listening with the Amiron home sounds really, really good!

Never heard of anyone that uses tube pre-amp and tube amp. At least not for headphones...

Tread carefully. 'Double-Tubing' is outlawed in most civilized nations and frowned upon in those where it is not.

I have a Schiit Saga preamp in the signal chain. The Saga can function as either a passive preamp allowing for source selection and passive attenuation, or as an active preamp which utilizes a single 6SN7 tube in a tube / solid state hybrid buffer. The impact the tube has on the signal isn't quite as obvious as the tubes impact on the sound of the Lyr 3 amp but it's there. Stacking the two can yield some interesting results. In this case the results are quite pleasant.

True, but there are some dark corners of the internet that cater to this sort of behavior.

I was doing Saga to BH Crack on one output, and Jotunheim on the other. Active or passive, it was pretty transparent. Active mode added a very slight bit of tube flavor, but compared to how a tube influences an amp like the Lyr 3, it was a very miniscule change.
Saga is a very good pre.
