Sorry Skos,
but the B6 uses small signal tubes…not the same as the big bottle DHT tubes used in the Level 7. I used to have a L4 then moved to a Big7 and finally to a Golden Gate. Big step up everytime. In addition, I have the latest Ladder R2R PCM setup and DSD 256 capability.
The other thing is that I have become tube addicted, as I now roll rectifiers and output tubes with wild abandon to modify the music presentation. Tons of fun.
The Golden Gate is simply phenomenal.
