| I've decided to try Tubes @aberyclark I've personally found tube burn in to be a fairly subtle thing, a good tube will sound good from the get go, and will certainly open up a bit as it burns in. I don't think it changes the nature of the sound that much but it does improv... | |

| SS preamp with tube amp @greginnh what do you feel you're missing from your Esoteric? Did a quick google search and that looks like a pretty special integrated. I'm a tube guy all the way but have a certain fondness for Japanese SS from companies like Esoteric and Accuph... | |
| How old is too old for a Dac? @andyz I know what you mean so happy about my AN dac-3 Signature now wondering how much better the Balanced might be? Happy for now, very happy, but good to know there's an upgrade path! | |
| How old is too old for a Dac? Charles to be honest the AN keeps getting better by the day I haven't been able to take it out yet! I I am pretty convinced the AN is considerably better than the Yamamoto but hearing being fickle I will give the Yammie one more listen before I de... | |
