Most interesting Jim, I tried a set of the same in my then incombent REf5SE, and whilst smoother that the factory set I also found them ( over approx 10 hours run time) a tad diffuse in the upper registers, slightly veiling of micro detail, which surprised me somewhat.
Ultimately I prefered to run with factory 6H30's whilst tailoring the presentation with various NOS 6550's.

However, your post may prompt me to give them another, longer, run out in the REF150.
