Hello,
I wanted to thank everyone for their responses.
I recently got my system, and its not quite broken in fully yet. I am discovering that it is actually changing in a positive direction the last couple nights. Especially when the tubes reach the two hour mark. Its getting very close to magic.
I think I jumped the gun here when I posted this, I should have waited a little longer.
If I don't get the presentation I'm looking for after more "burn-in" I may consider auditioning some other gear but I don't think it will be the source. I've tried a number of source components over the years. In my experience when comparing "top level" source components the differences are minor, slightly different presentations and levels of resolution. Changing the source is not going to get me the results I'm after as many stated above. You have helped reaffirm me of my original findings.
I think I will audition some different speakers as many suggested. I agree, I think the transducers will make the biggest audible difference. Thinking about going to some local shops to try out some different speakers, very interested in the Harbeth M30.1s and SHL5's.
Thanks again for everyone's input. This thread can be closed.
