Hi, No firm name yet. The third pre-production ones only differ from the second with a slight change in transformer orientation and slightly smaller case. Otherwise the same. We may swap some of the ECC803s with 7025s. The jury is out on it. They are supposed to be quieter, but I have one hand built one with 803s and one version 2 with 7025s and I can't really tell much difference. Both test and measure the same within expected tube tolerances (about 1 db for S/N ...response is identical). The best 7025s were from EH and the worst were TAD. ECC803S were JJ standard pin (not gold pin...they were worse!). To me they both sound the same as well.

Good Listening
Bruce
