this is crazy !
have fun with it ?
do you use EF12 or EF14 tubes ? Or this the original VF14?
I want to use the EF12 tube.

I have all tubes(yes vf14's also)+neumann k47's,etc... I'm also curious about ef12k!
 
I'm stuck deciding which amp I should build with. I'm leaning toward the EF80X. I realize it's extremely subjective and there may be strengths and weaknesses for each one but...

Dany, can you comment on the differences between  amp / tube choices?

I'm okay with completely subjective terms like "pillowy", "hi-fi", "tubey" but of course am interested in noise (or the lack of).



By the way, I believe Ben started building his Arabellas with EF12s but switched to the Russian equivalents 6ZH8, 6SJ7 and 5693 (not sure if they're all Russian).

My Arabella had the 6ZH8; it sounded great and was quiet (low noise).
 
Status update, I ordered all parts for vf14 style PSU,I restored my old vintage k47 mounts also:

So Dany's heads are compatible even with the original u48(of course in card position only) yesterday we made some tests, it was fun.
