Yes, i just posted the link on Audio-Talk.
Interesting that they use a room with no carpet. The sound must be quite lively.
Been thinking about this matter with regard to Chesterfest.

Who Loves Tubes?
I love the sound of RCA's,Telefunkens made in Berlin and Ei's and some older Electro Harmonics in the 12AT7.In the 12AX7 I like the Sovtek LPS and Ei . For EL84's the best tube I have ever heard is the 1950's copey of an RCA improved with gold screen wire,larger plates and larger anode,very heavy glass like the EL84M. This new TAD EL84STR is the smoothest of it's breed and gives you nice tight bass along with velvety mids! Something most EL84's lack.

Certified tube junkie here. My favorite EL84 is the original Mullard and my favorite 7591 are the Fisher branded ones in my 500-c. Aside from headphone gear, these are two of the types I've heard the most of. NOS rules.
