My V12i came with......

EH EL34s and Jensen caps because because that's how Bill Cowen (Bill C)advised me to order it. It was very nice, but I got it upgraded to R as soon as Cary offered it. Since am local and hand delivered mine to Cary, mine may have been the first customer upgrade. I bought a set of EH 6CA7s, and ran them six months. I then changed back to the EH EL34s and decided they were sweeter. Having heard about KT88s in V12s from one of the Cary techs (not Kirk) who uses them (Svetlanas)in his personal V12, I thought that might be my next powertube set. Although it takes 12 tubes, using current production is not that expensive compared to paying $200 plus for a nice set of NOS preamp tubes. To retube my V12 with NOS would make buying another better amp more feasible. Can you say 805C or even 211? I would rather buy a SLP 98 and have Cary mod it at this time.
