What's your take on the EH tube ?

Well, it's still early days, but it, like its 6922 little brother, is a bit on the dry side of tubey, and very detailed. So far it is pretty intimate sounding, rather than having a big-wide sound stage. Imaging is excellent, though. So it goes well with my neutral monitor phones, like my K361 or ER2SE. Planars and Metal music offer an excellent synergy. My Ananda just sounds killer.

This particular tube is dead silent on low gain, but makes a tiny bit of noise on high gain. Not a big deal, but better to buy it from a tube vendor who will test it before sending it out.

I like this big boy. I feel like I am future-proofing my tube purchases a bit in case I move to the very tempting new Lyr+ next year.

Jason just announced Vali Plus - uses 5670s!

which is funny because that’s what’s in mine right now. I’m tempted to get one in black.
