Great responses, guys. While I have your attention, I thought I'd ask what 12AU7s y'all liked best in these amps. Mine currently have some old Sylvanias. Everything is sounding great, but would appreciate knowing if you had a favorite 12AU7 in this application.
The 5R4GYs are also currently Sylvanias. I just happen to have a very nice pair of 1940s CRC dark brown base double-getter RCAs. But I'm waiting to get fully acclimated to the sound before plugging these in.
Cheers,
Blake
