Just got mine

(Of course we're talking about the reissues)

I have them in my Quicksilver M60 monoblocks, 1 quad in each amp. I bi-amp so only run them from ~1000Hz and below. I've had them running for maybe 20 hours and so far a significant improvement over some new production EL34s, and not as big improvement over some JJ KT88s I borrowed from a friend. What I hear is very smooth with good, taught bass.
Vs. the KT88s the bass is maybe not quite as full (that may change) but tighter and I hear more detail in vocals and guitar, etc.

Nice looking tube, that's for sure.

The fact that Latino recommends them for his amps was certainly something I noticed when researching. I got mine from McShane, who as always has just about the best price (how does he sell lower than the overseas eBay guys??), the best service, and ships in like 15 minutes.
