Devore Nines vs. 0/93's

I have the Nines, with ARC, Shindo, and Line Magnetic amps. I am considering going to the 0/93's. Has anyone compared these? Any made the switch?

I also listened to the Devore Gibbon X, mentioned in the same thread. Haven't heard the 9's though.

Other than the O-series is more geared to lower-powered tubes. Remember too that there is now a Super Nine, with incredible bass for the size, but a presentation, when loud, that tends to smoosh everything together.

He will tell it to you straight. I bought my O/93's from him. I did not listen to the 9's. I love my O/93's. They are not perfect. They have compromises I am happy to live with. They are fun, they are lively, voices and well-recorded piano sound real.
