  I've had a pair of these running for about 3 months now, and they're still well matched with good section balance. I tried them in my Njoe Tjoeb and they had good tone, but a little soft. Only a buffer stage in the Njoe Tjoeb, though, so they might do better in the Heart. I put them behind a pair of Tele 12AX7s in my PAS pre and they really sound good there--great tone. They remind me a lot of my better Bugle Boys if I had to pick a 6DJ8 that they "sound like". I actually prefer them to the BBs; tighter bass and a more delicate top end with the same sweet mids, so they maybe sound a little lighter overall. If you need a good 6DJ8, I can't see any reason to buy NOS any more--I think you'll like these. Can't beat the price.

    I would concur with this post. I had the amperex bugle boys in my ARC SP-6-C-1 (I still have them, they aren't "shot" yet) and had similar impressions of how the Elite's sound. Well worth considering.

    does it matter if I buy it from Triode as opposed to the tube shop (UK), etc.

        Not true! There are other sources for matched tubes.

  Well... for what its worth I just replaced the stock chinees tubes in my new pre with a matched set of these from triode electronics and was really happy with improvment.Thing is I haven't heard anything else.So This really isn't much help.But I really don't{at this time}feel the need to keep trying get a better tube.I really think they my system is sounding pretty good.Now all I need is just one more pair of Silver lace and I"m done{for now that is there's still those GR Alphas to build and,and,and.....}
