Thank you for the helpful detailed notes Thomas.
I ordered on matched pair 1980 Melz 1578 from Olga. When they arrive will post my thoughts.
I own a pair of TS BPRP a pair of Sylvania metal base and Psvane Treasure CV181-TII. 
I find the coveted Tong Sol best it simply is more musical. Sylvania and Psvane a close second to each other. Sadly one Tong Sol recently died.

By the way I also live in the Seattle area.

My pair of 1980 Melz 1578 from Olga arrived yesterday. After playing 8-10 hours background music in our living room system I sat down to listen.
WOW!
I'm ordering another set of Metz 1578 now. I also ordered a pair of 1954 Metz 6N8S. 
What I noticed…. depth, focus and groove. I'm not a huge Kraftwork fan but listening to Tour De France (2009) remaster (M) Tidal I was unable to surf the internet the music kept drawing me in!
Thanks for the heads up Thomas

Thomas please report this clown to Ebay and PayPal. He should be shut down. His use of racial slurs is unforgivable.
