david_ten Yes, I am seriously considering the Thoress EHTs although more likely the integrated version which would allow me to sell the VR L2iSE and bank the difference towards an upgrade to a Totaldac D1 Direct. Reinhard did offer a 10 day in home audition. I am gathering info on the EHT integrated but have not been able to find anything beyond Hifi Knights review which was very positive. This is all a bit of a stretch since many of the qualities that SE enthuses over in his review of the EHT monos I feel like accurately describes the advantages the VR L2iSE had over the SIT 1s when I got to A/B them.
Look forward to hearing your impressions of your new 2A3 amp. BTW, I can’t recommend the Linlai 2A3 tube highly enough, although sad to say I blew the filaments in mine because I had the voltage switch on 5 Volts as opposed to 2.5 Volts. Must have inadvertently moved the switch dusting. Back in go the Elrog 300bs till a new set arrives. They’re great, just don’t have the delicacy and detail of the Linlai.
