Embarrassing Tube Story
Wow, what a discovery. Be of good cheer, God gives grace to the humble.Supposedly the new Electro-Harmonix 6SN7 are similiar to the NOS RCA Red Base units, would you be interested in comparing the sonics of the two?

Black Uhuru Starting Point
Phasecorrect, out of curiosity, how did you become interested in Black Uhuru?"Monday, Monday, that's the day slavery begins." - an affecting lyric, especially on a Sunday evening. 
Problems with my Berning ZH270
George, my observations match those of Allan. If you follow his advice, and still have a problem with the high frequencies, I would again direct you to the Marigo dots, especially on windows.You are in for a treat with Andy Bouwman's matched tubes...

84audio, are you Larry's former friend? Just curious. 
Black Uhuru Starting Point
I don't know the answer to the first question, but The Dub Factor is usually the first thing I play when I install an upgrade. 
Problems with my Berning ZH270
You might try some Marigo bands and dots on your speaker cones and basket arms, especially on the woofers and midrange drivers. If you have any windows apply the Marigo dot treatment to them as well, if you don't mind their visual effect.I have a ... 
3K to 4K Phono Pre-Amp
I'd keep my eye open for reviews on the PhD as they come out.
