| Cayin A-300b vs Muzishare x9 Thank you for the update cb3489. Those ACME 300B is not cheap but good to know it improve the X9 much. I brought a pair of LINLAI 7300B. That pair also tightens the image compared to stock 300b. I didn't listen long enough to see how much those L... | |

| Cayin A-300b vs Muzishare x9 Yes, tubes do have very tight grip and fully seated but it still wiggle slightly. I saw the youtube clip by China-hifi on the Boyuurange A50 MKIII 300. Those tubes also wiggled as he demonstrate the correct way to install 300B tubes.One of the 3... | |
