I have asked Justin about various tubes that I wanted to try in the Pendant and also a Bigger Ben. He has given me advice regarding what is fine and some others that would not work and why.

It's your Pendant and you can put in any tube you want but I tend to go with the advice of the amp builder.

I rolled about 10 sets of EL84 in the Tuba amp and stumbled upon the $99 NOS Amperex EL84 used matched pair and I prefer them strongly over all the others I tried, some of which cost more. Widest soundstage and more bass than the rest (which the Tuba needed) http://www.audiotubes.com/6bq5.htm

Yes! It’s like waiting for my Auteur all over Again!

Okay so In anticipation of my Pendant SE what tubes do y’all recommend more specifically what combo?

Curious if anyone who ordered by the end of Feb has actually received an SE yet. Was certainly hoping to have mine by now to compare, sell other equipment, and pay off my credit card charge for it but figured it would take longer than estimated initially (which is great if they got a ton of orders). As my order was on 3/1 I expect to be among the last so it would be great to hear that some have received them. Would be helpful to get some idea since I'll just sell stuff now if it's going to be more than another month.

So I had reached out to Zach because I purchased another Pendant in the meantime, and he said that “A Lot” of Pendants were going to be going out this week. Not sure how many is a lot but I’d expect at least the ones that they showed on their Instagram which was like 20 chassis 3 weeks ago and I’d expect a lot to be at least 10 considering they showed the progress too.

Pardon me asking, but did you by chance realize your rectifier and preamp tube are misplaced or is yours different?

Yikes and good catch! I hope he did not turn it on like that, or would even power up? Definitely not in the right sockets.
