Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ?
Sorry audiolabyrinth I don't know what the difference is in construction or sound. That information might have to come from a dealer or Aesthetix.I got the Eclipse because I don't plan on getting into DSD although I was assured that it could be ad... 
If you won the power ball tomorrow night would you
Winning $1.5 BILLION would be work.Whatever you’re doing now will be converted to keeping track of the money. I suppose you could listen to music while you were doing it. 
Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ?
Audiolabyrinth,Yes I’m using the CDP directly into the amp as I have with a long succession of CDPs and DACs. I gave up pre-amps many years ago. I’m currently using a McCormack DNA225 with Steve McCormack Platinum mods + ARC, advanced rectifier cu... 
Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ?
I bought the Romulus Eclipse with volume control. As far as I know it does not have DSD.For the 12Ax7 tubes try the Mullard square getter or goalpost halo getter or Amperex D-foil getter. I believe these are from the late 1950s. 
When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad
I said that in my opinion there were statements made in this thread that could be construed as racist or biased.Rap is not music is an entirely different issue.

Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck
I pretty much don’t care what Kanye West does, thinks or says. But the media sure wants us to know these things. PS: Goes for his wife as well. 
When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad
1. I like The Roots, talented bunch of guys IMO.2. Although I abhorred Rap initially some of it has evolved into something I can listen to occasionally.3. I'll try to be more negative next time. 
Do all tubes glow
I think they’re breaking in any time juice is flowing through them. So if they’re glowing even with no music they’re breaking in.Caveat: I'm no expert on this. If I'm wrong I hope someone corrects me. 
Do all tubes glow
jl35,Yes mine has volume control. As far as I know the tubes would only be breaking in while on not when the unit is in standby.

"When Rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad."Wishful thinking. 
Power cords at ridiculous prices?
Power cords at ridiculous prices?If you have the money and want them, knock yourself out. That’s what I call free market economy. 
Cables and reviewers
So reviewers who are NOT biased, lazy and incompetent would/should all agree? Considering there probably is no human alive who doesn’t possess these traits to some degree I’m not sure I follow your logic. Are you saying nothing should ever be revi...

Did you get volume control?
