I like the 7 better than the 6, but its a matter of taste.Now now now! Nobody has yet heard both, back to back, in fully optimized status.The 6 does not offer DSD.My B6 supports DSD but I am not willing to pay the ripoff prices of DSD downloads. 
How to improve power supply?
Ptss - Don't get too wrapped on what is being used by NASA, NOAA, NSF, etc. We are talking about audio systems, not GHz telecommunication systems to Mars. The Plitron will dramatically outperform the kiddy toy power transformers in 90% of those us... 
How to improve power supply?

John, since you own some HF cables, that promotes the HF team to the 4 Musketeers! Doesn't that make you feel special?

combination tube amp and ss preamp?
I respectfully disagree...well not THAT respectfully...in any case, I use a SS preamp with a tube power amp simply because I want the cleanest and most accurate possible signal going to my Greasefest Overdrive Special power amp where it's electron...

However, the harsh fact is that one URR cost more than the car I have been driving the past 8 years.Oh my, then you might have to scale down to a Vespa when the URRR comes out. And heaven forbid, with the URRRR, you might have to move into a doubl...

The Lampizator is musical but of no real interest to me. It doesn't sound real.Well if the L7 in stock tube form is somewhat dimensionally flat as is the stock B6, I would have to agree. But like any tube product, if one goes with stock tubes and ...

Well Agear, I must give credit to Michael Elliot of Counterpoint/Aria to educating me on the significance of PS tubes along with the audio signal tubes. He was one of the very few tube product designers who started with readily available new tubes...

I finally got a chance to try the RCA VT-99 to compare to my reference, the Raytheon VT-99. With nothing but major success with RCA tubes in many links in my system, I had the highest expectations and I admit, bias, for the RCA to come out the "wi...
