jetter, I don't understand what you are saying here. I have owned the Lampi B6 for nearly 5 years and tried a number of different tubes in the Rectifier and audio circuits and after trying a number of different brands in each, I was able to tune the B6 with vast improvements. The GG DAC also supports multiple tube types for the Rectifier and audio circuit. I can only imagine that tube experiments here would be more dramatic than what I have experienced with the B6.
Are we saying that the Oppo 205 sonically exactly matches the GG in WC's system? If tube rolling does indeed make dramatic changes here, are we saying that WC's tube set in his GG just happens to result in a sonic signature exactly to the 205? Come on, this is statistically unrealistic. WC above indicates that he did hear differences in some system configurations. And then he could no longer here these differences.
The 300B tubes have a seductive magic that has to be heard to be appreciated. I have no experience with the PX-4 but just read the comments on this tube to learn about its praise.
There is so much obsession with the Nordost Odin cables here. It was not that long ago that the Valhalla cables were the top of Nordost's line. But these did not remotely come close to their competition in retrieving the portrayal of space; hyper-detailed yes, but hyper sterile as well. If the Odin is a continuation of the Nordost sonic path from the Valhalla line, the magic of the GG will never have a chance to surface in WC's system. It's time to pull all the Nordost cables out, donate them to the Salvation Army, and reconfigure the system with an entirely different cable line. And no, not Audioquest as this line is another product line that does not bring on the 3D qualities. Perhaps the Shunyata will do it.
Hopefully some courageous members here who have worked hard to achieve exemplary portrayal of space can share in this forum what cables truly outperformed the competition in their system. I have tried to suggest a few but they have been ignored for the sake of the Nordost and Wireworld products lines.
I say it again, if WC can not hear the GG significantly outperform the Oppo in the key areas of 3D and harmonics structures, there is a serious problem in his system. And I again say, put the focus on the ICs in the $2-3k price range and not this insane power cord and speaker cables at 2-3x the price of this.
