Okay, I couldn't wait. Got them installed in the V1 and V2 positions.
I can tell a difference immediately.
The first thought in my head was "laid back". Maybe this is what people mean by 'warm'. And this might be impossible but the music sounds a little slower. Not so much a tempo issue, almost like a slower pace. Can't really describe it. I think the highs are tempered a bit and a little less bright than the original tubes, which might be a good thing. Certainly less clinical than the original tubes. The effect on bass is interesting. It seems a little deeper but does not seem to have lost any tightness or precision, or at least not much.
That's all I can say right now. Will obviously let them play for a few hours and then put the old tubes back in for another comparison.
For the record, the original tubes are Electro-Harmonix. They say "Made in Russia" and below that "04 02". 6922H is printed near the top. Pins are silver in color. Each one has two rubber rings up near the top.
Thanks again to rodman99999 for the opportunity to give these a try.
