MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?

I’m considering one of these. Please share your thoughts, especially if you’ve heard them. I will be streaming 70% and CD’s 30%

Jazz, R&B and classical in that order are my listening habits.

My room is 20x30 and very nice acoustics.

Current system:
Dali Epicon 8, Luxman 509X, PS Audio NuWave DSD, Cambridge CXC, Shunyata interconnects & Nordost speaker cable

Thank you!!!

Ordered the WE tube from Fleabay.
Should have a few hours on the Orchid by the time it arrives.

I was worried when I first powered it up as it did not sound pleasant at all.
But literally 3  hours and it opened up very nicely.

Just got to keep burning it in overnight as I did last night for a few more days.

I bought an adapter to convert to a 6SN7 tube (I used a Sophia Electric) and gave it a brief tryout in my stock Orchid. I couldn't get it out fast enough. Not recommended. Should have listened to grannyring.
