I've heard the MartinLogan CLX.... WOW
But the CLX is still current and still one of the best transducers I have had the pleasure of listening to music through. Rower30, you wrote a great appraisal and I agree with it wholeheartedly. Regards,Paul. 
Tweeter type and brightness
You may like the Brodmann VC 2 or VC7 depending on budget, worth trying if there is a possibility near you.. They are quite natural in the upper registers, and I'd imagine would suit acoustic guitar very well..Best Regards,Paul. 
Length of digital cable?
We found that the shorter the better if the cable is well designed. I use 40cm, it is astoundingly detailed and tonally very accurate..

Hello all,To further experiences with Tubes used in the DAC040, I have recently been using Nos Tesla ECC802s, in both the DAC & CF 080LSX2 Pre-amplifier. Teajay, I know you also use this Pre, so do try this pair, and even the Tesla's in DAC on... 
Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system
Thank you Spirit, very kind. I was mostly trying to asses wether signal or Chassis gnd were referenced, or both, and have clarity now;-) I respect that the material is kept protected with these devices, I know I would for sure..Best Rgds,Paul.

You are welcome, good luck with the search, and do try nos 12BH7, simply wonderful.. Your cable should do well, I have not used these myself, but i'm sure that it will be doing a good job. The calmness you mention is vital, I search for un-hysteri...

Hello Lyd4711,Thank you. Mullard 6Ca4 is good as rectifier, I have tried several, but each time Mr Mullard just fits. I use this in pre 080 also.12AU7There are some really good sounding tubes out there, and I agree, sifting through anecdotal evide... 
digital cable length
FWIW, I just swapped from a 1.4 meter to 0.4 meter 75ohm interconnect between CDP and DAC, and there is a considerable improvement to my ears, and others i must add. If you can possibly keep them as short as Al has already suggested, I'd wholehear...
