Tubelab SSE - coupling caps and run capacitor

Hi! I realize this is an old, possibly dead thread. But dude, those are some gorgeous tubes! What kind of tubes are those?

They look to be standard JJ EL34's. They also have a blue version. I have some and found them to sound nice. Some have reported reliability issues with their octal tubes, but I think that was a while ago and they have now taken care of their quality issue

Thanks for the tip! I zoomed in on the photo and grabbed the mfr and numbers for each tube, and ordered myself a complete set from eBay yesterday! They're pretty, and pretty affordable too!

JJ has a web store where you can order the red or blue tubes direct, although it is not very convenient for non European buyers - last time I bought from it, I could not see a way out of VAT.

Tesla made EL34 with very dark, deep cobalt blue, glass. They are visually striking, but NOS is very scarce and difficult to obtain these days.
