That seller, Langrex if you don't want to go through ebay, also has el38 tubes. One of my all time favorites in the amp. Pair it with a low gain tube like the 6bx7 or even better a bl63/cv1102 and I get amazingly balanced, slightly warm, tonally accurate, and with gobs of detail. The el38 gets kind of piercing in my system if I pair it up with most 6sn7 and especially 6sl7.
The Fivres are good and true NOS. The input tube used can make or break the sound of a given power tube. I cannot stress that enough. It makes the difference between thumbs up or down. Synergy is the key.
