As long as they test well and are relatively closely matched then the visual appearance isn't that important.
 
I wouldn't pay more than about $150 for a pair of mullards, more than that is a bit excessive I think.

Thanks for the reply. Would these be worth getting then:

$120 or so with shipping. They look like they tested strong, but the printing on them is a bit different.

They haven't 'arrived'. It's just a pre-announcement. 

Well, I said "slight".

  I know, but everyone has been wondering about them for so long.  At least now we have approximate dates (err...times of the year) to shoot for.

Just don't ask for more info or the price goes up $50 each time (check the flyer...).

Don't feel bad about it!  The new amp (Ragnarok) won't even be out until late 2013 and the DAC (Yggdrasil) won't be out until early 2014.  Things have also gotten delayed before, so I think you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the uber.  This was just a preliminary announcement.
 
Cheers!

Frankly, I'm not all that interested, I'm pretty happy with my Lyr.
 
But Jason hinted that a hybrid version might be coming.  Now THAT I would be interested in!

Really?  I missed that!  I would be interested as well as long as they use the same tube family as the Lyr.  Then I won't have to go out and get more tubes!

Seriously, I would be very interested in a hybrid.  I'm getting addicted to the tube sound...

I love my Lyr but am actually thinking about going over to solid state with the statement gear.

I was wondering when Telefunken would be knocked from it's current throne- thought I would have to get some of Amperex or Siemens best. Then along comes Ediswan 6922. Fuller bass, more detailed mids, an excellent, and as of now, superior tube. Highly recommended. Telefunken, you may now take your rest.

Interesting.  A new player...
 
They don't seem to be all that pricey either.

Great bass, thick and rich. Definitely one of it's strengths. And great detail. It's only weakness could be soundstage, Telefunken is more spacious sounding. Listening on HE-400, great with handling bass, no doubt. This could obviously lead me to color my review. One thing's for sure- Telefunken can't touch Ediswan's bass. Which is superior- I'll leave that to the experts who know far more than me. The Ediswan's are a very fun tube, this much I know.

HK, I think I read somewhere that the Statement hybrid will not use the same tube family.

My large 6DJ8 tube investment is one of the reasons I acquired the Liquid Glass. Uses these same Novals or Octals in the 6SN7 family.
