| Tube rolling in the Candela I do not have the Candela, but in my tube equipment I have found the Mullard NOS cv4003 is the best sounding 12au7 tube for its rich midrange and fatigue free treble. The RCA cleartops come in second. Thy will take a lifeless sounding piece o... | |
| Anthem Statement P5 amp and Golden Ear Triton One speakers No, I haven't heard them as I was not at CES. I do know that everyone who heard them, drooled all over them and it has the GE house sound.

| break in I believe in break in but up to a point. If I insert a new component into my system and the sound sucks, no amount of break in will magicly make it sound better. I learned that the hard way. The only component that I noticed a big difference in... | |
