Border Patrol DAC tube change

Bonjour Mmhifi,

Just to know : Could you tell me if the stock ez80 tube was very old? Just wondering if age could be a factor.

PS Before owning the BP, I did not understand why some are saying that tone is more important than details / the last bit of resolution. Now I understand…
 

I had brand new Border DAC - one month only in my system. So stock Tungsram EZ80 was fresh. DAC finished break in and after that I changed the tube. Difference for better was big.

VERY interesting. I will try it. Thanks a lot…
