Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes
The Dac I’m using is the Tubadour IV and previously I was using a MHDT Orchid. I purchased the Tubadour for the extra inner detail and more lively presentation. I do like the overall sound but I guess the extra extension and liveliness of the Tuba... 
Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes
@earthbound The Mullards are starting to warm up and probably didn’t give them enough time to break in. I guess there’s no set time especially for NOS tubes.   The real problem is I have tinnitus in my left ear and it’s extremely sensitive to hi...

@pwerahera  Thanks for the list. I spoke to Brent today and he suggests giving a NOS Amperex 6DJ8 a try.   
Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes
@tomcy6 I bought the Mullard from Brent Jesse from his recommendation. I called him earlier today and still thought the Mullard was my best bet. He also suggested the Amperex but there was no guarantee it would sound better. He did hear from some ...

I have the same amp and this is normal. Enjoy!

Musical fidelity M6 500i You may want to look at the Musical Fidelity M6 500i on usaudiomart.com. It’s rated 500 watts into 4 ohms and is selling for $3000.   
room size question.
I agree with grisly by unplugging the subs first. It doesn’t matter whether you measure from the front or back but how it sounds to you. I would try using a good acoustic recording with a single voice. Experiment by moving the speakers forward and... 
room size question.
@bshaw  My room is also 12x12 but one size doesn’t fit all due the characteristics of the speaker so experimentation is key. In my situation, the front center of the speakers are 44” from the front wall and 36” from the side walls. So my speakers... 
Kt120 Vs kt90 Sound characteristics
If you wish for good bass, smooth highs and a rich midrange, try KT77s. I auditioned the Cronus Magnum 3 at home with the stock KT120 and found them a bit clinical also. So I ordered the amp with Gold Lion KT77s installed from Rogue. If you choose... 
Primaluna or not Primaluna
You might be interested in the Rogue Cronus Magnum 3. I purchased the Rogue after owning the Primaluna Dialogue Premium and found it more detailed and dynamic. It’s 100wpc and it has a switch that allows you to toggle between ultra linear and trio... 
Aurender
@fuzztone I’ve owned the Aurender N100 for 4 years and never had a problem with the conductor app.  
Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried...

Zen mini mark III with lps or zen mark III
Johnny also sells Innuos and Aurender so you may be able to compare all three. He always has great advice and he’ll probably let you audition at home.   
Rogue pharaoh II or Cronus Magnum III ?
The top picture is the new Pharaoh 2. These are different sounding amps and the major differences include a new amplifier circuit designed around the Hypex N-core amplifier modules increases both power and performance. The preamplifier includes nu...
