I’ll have to try the Auteur lambskin pads with the 801s. I like the universe lambskin pads with the Ken-Rad 5814.

I have an OG Auteur and it’s awesome with the Pendant. So I’m not surprised the Classic is as well.Well, I just returned his Atrium to him, so I will never know!As for now, I'm perfectly content with the magical combination of the Auteur Classic and Pendant SE.

Every package I’m tracking (coming & going) seems to be stuck somewhere. Me thinks status updates are not correct and shippers aren’t updating until their reach regional distribution centers at destination (to save time on their end due to sheer volume of Black Friday shipments going out)I got a FedEx shipping exception today
So apparently Brent Jessee just got some of these Tungsram in himself! I ordered a single tube. Crazy timing too. I sent an email to see if he had any after seeing your post, and he replied that he had just gotten 4 matched pairs in from France! He hasn't even listed them on the site yet.

Foil Disc Getters or Foil O Getters?
He said they’re dual foil disk getters, with a very heavy too getter flash and yellow labels, from the early to mid 50’s.

Yep those are the same ones. I should have mine early this week. The foil disc getters (also welded plates) are early 50’s but virtually unobtainium

After a trip halfway around the world (and a second adventure completely around my neighborhood to chase down the mailman since I was on a call and missed his delivery attempt by 30 minutes) my Tungsram EL84 (WPFDG) 58’ have arrived and are warming up. The RFT EL84 (WPFDG) I was running in the driver position previously were no slouch, definitely more focused but I can tell already I’ll enjoy the Tungsram more. I’m absolutely floored with this combo of tubes in my Pendant SE + VO (the Holo May KTE plays a huge role as well)
Nice! I assumed you were getting the tungsrams as a preamp tube, but I was mistaken! The Tungsram early 50’s foil disk getter I have coming in is an ECC82After a trip halfway around the world (and a second adventure completely around my neighborhood to chase down the mailman since I was on a call and missed his delivery attempt by 30 minutes) my Tungsram EL84 (WPFDG) 58’ have arrived and are warming up.

The picture really doesn't do these justice. I'm really impressed with these. I'll give them some break in time then compare the sound with the aged cherry set I haven't sold yet. First impression is the Koa has more bass than the cherry.
Those look amazing! You might be hearing the difference between a burnt in pair and a fresh one. The Atrium seems to change a lot with burn in. Congrats!
I wonder if that's just lack of burn in. My cherry seemed to have more bass, especially sub-bass when I first got it, and didn't really notice anything different when I got my Koa which I burned in at least 50 hours before spending much time with it.
