hi Damir
I build the amp and tryed the C3g and ec8010 first i must say i build the amp with ux245 as output tube.
I used the C3g driver stage as you post here
and the ec8010 at 150v /20m.
The ec8010 is very good more hights and more bass then the c3g
but the hights are not sparkeling ,not loose. More like an transistor amp.
Very impressive but i think not for a long time.
The c3g has more fluidness (sorry for the strange talk) i try to explane sound thats not easy
the sound is also more clean
and there is a good balance in the whole freq.spectrum

So the c3g is staying
i like it !!!
For me this sounds best but i think that others may like the ec8010 more.

Then i tried the ec8010 and the c3g with the same operation points
interstage coupled.
I have amorphouse interstage tranny's from Tribute audio
the opt's are also amorpouse one's from the same builder.
The carractre of the tubes is the same now but no there is an naturalnes to the sound its smoother and more relaxed but still dynamic and very very clean.
I like the amp most with the c3g driver interstage coupled
its also a very simple set up.
