It sounds amazing.  I'm ordering a set of EML 45s and a new umbilical.

@jtgofish  I rewired everything and reseated the tubes just to see if there was something I did during setup that could have been incorrect.  It turned out that the switches that select 2.5v vs 5v on the DHT tubes were set incorrectly.  I'm runni...

Success!  I started from scratch and with Johhny's help It's making music.  Thank you everyone for the input.  This has never happened to me before. Sound is really good right out of the gate.  Piano music in particular has amazing depth.

New Project RS2T transport
I have one on order so I emailed Pro-ject (Sumiko) and asked what is being done to correct these issues.  Depending on their response I may pivot to the Jays transport.    
What Is Most Important?
@theaudioamp  Agreed.  My grower has won 26 Cannabis cups.    
What Is Most Important?
Bringing a sense of humor to this forum might help.  The weed comments are in jest.  Does anyone get it anymore or do we all take ourselves so seriously that no one can have any fun?   I'm going to roll a joint.

There's a brand new one for sale on USAM right now from the manufacturer at a discount.  
Preamp Deal of the Century
On a lighter note, I got word from Mick this morning that my pre amp is done and would be shipping.   My amp is made in a one man shop as well and the build quality is outstanding.  Mick's track record is excellent and I'm expecting an exceptiona...

Seems to me Mick handled this as he should have.
