Great looking amp! Enjoy those 300B's - I've got an Eddie Current Studio B headphone amp with WE 300B tubes, and my Susvara headphones are aural crack through that setup. So easy to listen for hours and hours.....

Thank you larsman ! Several times I have thought to myself “amazing clarity”. I actually bought a second pair because I was afraid they might change the recipe or they would become unobtainium

I am gaining awareness about the Lab 12 DAC Reference  made in Greece. Seems to be very well received. How did you happen to come across it?

I read about it somewhere and learned that Fidelis in Nashua NH was the distributor.  I had a few days off at the beginning of June and gave them a call.   I asked if they took different category trades and they said sure come on up.   So I packed up my CJ Classic preamp that I was no longer using and took a ride up. 

I listened to it in a LAB 12 system driving Fyne speakers .   They offered me a generous trade that almost paid for half so it was a no brainer

It is built like a tank compared to a lot of stuff at this price or even above.   It sounds fantastic in this system.   

Ever been at that point in time where your system sounds so good that you are afraid to make any changes?    This is where I am at right now.   That DAC was a solid purchase.   It is very engaging and you want to just keep listening.Which is what I'm still doing at 1215 on a work night

Yes, I completely understand . This is why I’ve had the same preamplifier, amplifier and speakers unchanged since 2009. Genuinely happy and satisfied with them. Same situation with my DAC (Bought new in 2010) it just presents music beautifully.

I’ve heard a number of other DACs in the interim. None compelling enough to make a change for. The Lab 12 DAC Reference is intriguing and seems like the real deal. I appreciate your feedback/impressions.
