@jollytinker, I join @stephendunn in appreciating you taking the time to post further listening experiences of your audio system.  I'm happy for you that you've found such an ideal pairing of the Thoress EHT  amplifier  and Nenuphars. Charles

From @jollytinker on 03/10/2021"I’ve been trying out a new pair of Nenuphars for about a week now and I’m mighty impressed. I’ll chime in more as I find the words to describe what I’m hearing. I’ll just mention for now that I’m powering the Nenuph...

LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ?

My first thought was, ’I find it hard to believe that the Pass Labs XA 25 would have better sound quality than the Line Magnetic 508ia amplifier.’ But then I have to acknowledge that this is pure subjectivity and people simply like what they like,...
