Hi Dave.
Yes I remember the rubber mounted EF86, the ECC83 in my Pye Black box is rubber mounted too.
I've a goodly stock of EF86's and when the amp is complete I'll do some testing and select the quietest valves for the job. Personally I prefer the EF37A as well.
I think the amp though is well isolated from vibration where the lad has it installed so I'm not expecting a problem.
Ran the completed channel for a couple of hours into a dummy load yesterday and all went fine, going to finish the job during the week as I now have all the components to hand as the remaining stuff is now here.
