I do not know what you mean by “specific set-up” and what San Audio did is very orthodox use of 2A3 and I did not change it. The only change that I made (and I do not know at this point if it was a good change) was the change of the driver tube from 6SN7 to 6E5P. Objectively the 6E5P is way better driver then driver.
Yes, but you also have noted

I was not pleased and I decided to go for what I know/ I got rid of the 6SN7 and put my 6E5P with cathode bias in the driver stage. I did not like the sound as well, in fact I like it even less then with 6SN7.
so the correct operation for 6E5P-2A3 may require some small changes. I only suggest that you sit with the 2A3 for some time to get used to the sound and allow the amplifier to break in. It was just soldered together after all!
