Tube for aesthetix pandora / romulus
Dont knock em till you try them. Phillips Delta codes 1960 and up to about 69.

A no brainer choice would be Phillips (Haarleen plant) ECC83--ie 12ax7 European equivalent. Look for the Delta codes from the early 1960s. Google and you will find all the background you need to know. They will beat the Mullards. Thank me later. 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC

Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
I was fortunate to hear the first GG Dac for several hours a month ago. You will be in for a treat!DSD256 is da bomb. 
Considering Bricasti and Lampizator
Seriously?Putting Purrin's comments here? I cant take him seriously when he says a PSA PW2 and a Audio GD Master 7 sounds better than a Level 4 Lampi (much less a Level 5). Hell, the Amber will likely beat those Dacs he touts.From Headfi you can r...

You talk about getting off the merry-go-round and first thing you question is resale value??You also say you want to buy used, so why still talk about resale value. If one has higher perceived depreciation, then that works in FAVOUR of buying used... 
Lampizator question
Lampizator is not a gear flipper dac...its a destination purchase.If you are going into it thinking resale value, you just dont get it. Simply tagging on the lable, DSD ready is NOT going to cut it against Lampi DSD.Elberoth on 3 separate forums h...

FSmith, to impute greedy motive without any proof or understanding is just plain wrong.Please enjoy your Bricasti and stop slandering people online.I just smacks of ulterior motive to attack these guys for not accomodating you when you were trying... 
Lampizator question
Ricredi,That seems to be the norm on forums these days. Too many people with hidden agendas. Once a particular brand gets its 15 minutes of fame, the jealous vultures come out to bash. It seems to be regular as clockwork.My advice, ignore the bant... 
Lampizator question
Wow, Fsmith, you really are misguided,The Big7 was $11k full retail, and the $6K you speak of was for the 2 boxL7, less than $9K retail. They are NOT the same! 2nd hand B7s are usually around $8K.Lampi does not force ANYONE TO upgrade and many are...
