Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000

"... mad with pure desire" Charles, personal acknowledgment is the first step.
Public admission is larger bigger step. You are with friends:) HA

I have not heard the 101D in any implementation. It certainly is a visually beautiful tube. I will give the benefit of doubt that you guys did not buy CSL just because it looks so darn cool:)
A group buy is the way to to! I almost wish I could retro-fit in a pair:)

I understand and it is certainly all grand, my friend:)

Anchors Aweigh, Charles:)
If I were in the market, I myself would consider an additional back-up pair if it were a deciding factor to make the 20 pair group buy. Tho, I do realize the expenditure, we have seen full introductory manufacture's prices escalate shortly after introduction and these are a lesser used tube variety. Did not the Tak's 300B pricing rise?
