Footnote #2, the EL51 was for my Lampizator DAC, not the Aegis. I asked Keenan about compatability with the Aegis, but it was not determined one way or the other.
Nice! If anyone is interested in trying the EL51 in the Aegis, I can say they can be difficult to source.
Tesla was the maker of my pairs. In the Lampizator TRP, the EL51s were extremely midrange focused with a wide stage , making them good choices for acoustic and classical, not so much for rock or edm.
Of course they may sound different than that in the Aegis.
Updated my reserved post on the first page of the thread with some additional specs and a link to the tube compatibility spreadsheet. Let me know if you see any that have been confirmed / denied and haven't been included, I'll update accordingly. I've omitted some low power tubes (e.g., EL33) until I've tested them with different rectifiers. I have a pair of these on the way.
Anyone get a shipping notice? I'm trying to hard not to start buying tubes yet after reading all the cool tubes everyone is getting. I wanted to let my wallet recover a bit before I do so, but who am I kidding, i'll be snapping up tubes in no time. thankfully my Stratus shares a common rectifier, so i just need power and input tubes. every time my phone screen comes on with an alert i excitedly check if it's the shipping email hahaha. i'm horrible at waiting. thankfully i've learned on the shipping part just pay for expedited service.
I haven’t received any notice from ZMF yet, however I have received a shipping notice from DHL Express. Something is coming from China. Since I have not ordered anything else, it must be the Aegis directly from Cayin? Will see on Tuesday.

Well, I guess I have subconsciously decided to buy an Aegis because I just bought a matched pair of RCA red base 5691s. Now that I'm hunting tubes, the amp purchase is inevitable!
