Thank you very much for the kind words! I'm glad you like it!
As for soundclips: I don't know when I will be able to record some. There are two problems, first my playing skills are very, well "basic". Second, the amps are pretty loud despite their size. This is especially true for the class AB one. I must find a time when I don't disturb my neighbours too much with my cacophony.
I know that in the end all that matters is the sound quality, so I will do my best. It may take a while though.
Actually I considered making complete build guides, maybe next time. I will think about including some information about the tubes on my page.
Acquiring subminiature tubes can be a tough task. I had already got those Phillips JAN 6021 tubes for the class A amp for 2.5 years. Back then I bought them (not cheap) from the USA over Ebay. Recently I got lucky to find two of the 5902 tubes on Ebay Germany. There was also a very good deal on
www.military-tubes.com where you could by 250 g of unsorted submini-tubes for under 5 €. From that I got a lot of 5702, 5636, 6021, 6111 and 6112 mostly Sylvania, Raytheon and Telefunken. Unfortunately they seem to have run out of stock quickly and don't offer this anymore.
A good address is probably
http://www.askjanfirst.de/eindex.htm. I never delt with them but they have a huge list of every tube imaginable (the page is a bit hard to navigate, try the sitemap).
Btw, I just checked my page statistics and according to them the by far most viewed images are the gut shots. Not that I expected anything else, normally I'm mostly interested in them, too.
