I was checking our posts and saw the number 666 as the number of posts to this thread. not any longer.
Guys and gals have a great musical weekend.

gentlemen thought i might put my 2 cents worth on this thread regarding the upgrade. i have the upgraded 2.1nB which has about 130 hours so far in my opinion the unit
blossomed after 120 hours. in comparing the old 2.0nB vs.
2.1nB i much prefer the latter. to my ears the 2.1nB sounds
much nicer, more complete. i've compared it to my previous
preamp krell krc3 hands down it sounded 3-4 times better. the krell sounded flat, no emotion, just plain. to my recollection when i compared my old 2.0nB to the krell krc3 the ah was only 1-1/2 to 2 times better. bottom line is i've noticed a big improvement with the upgraded unit and with due time i believe it will sound even better.

Sherod, hope you are stil enjoying your new preamp. I admire risk takers and hope that your decision to make further changes did not void the warranty.

As for me, I will wait it out a little longer since the sound I am experiencing is musical and dynamic enough in my Condo, at least for now. I am playing at 11 o'clock and on rare occasions for guests its 12 to 1 o'clock. Lots of headroom to spare.

Thanks, guys, for the well wishes. I feel like I'm getting get well wishes after my near-death situation. Now that I have the old Hovlands back in, the phasey sound is gone and the sound my ears are familiar with is back, to a certain extent. Having the preamp now on for about 24 hours, the sound seems a bit dark for me, but that could be other issues. I'm going to just listen to music this weekend and try to relax and release some of the stress that has built up for me these last couple of weeks. I'm sorry to have stirred up a hornet's nest for everyone, but I'm a perfectionist and I want my hobby of musical listening to be the best possible.
