hiya jimf,
last sunday i fancied just listening to a cd. that was about midday. i was still listening at 8 in the evening! talk about addictive sounds!!!
i didn`t realise that wen i bought the speakers they were actually unused. they were ex-display. i thought they were ex-demo`s. they`re still breaking in as are the psvane pre-amp tubes. the sound just seems to keep getting better! i keep thinking the sound can`t get any better but it does! i think the break in time on the tubes and speakers are pretty much done now as i no longer hear any improvements.
i have 2 rca vt231 grey glass tubes on their way to me as well as 2 rca 6sn7gt`s. i`ll post how they sound wen they arrive. i did have a pair of rca 6sn7gt`s mixed wiv sylvania chrome domes. fantastic sound but the one of the rca`s has a loose base and is very microphonic so i changed them and at the moment have 4 sylvania chrome domes. i lost a little bass using all sylvania`s but the sound is still very nice.
i really am rediscovering my music collection with this system.
i don`t think i`ll ever part wiv any of my system now especially the 3d cd player. it just plays music so beautifully. i`m thinking of sending it off to musical fidelity for one of their tune ups and also give it a service.
i did think of sacd but at the end of the day there is very little material out there to justify getting one. this 3d cd player plays all cd`s beautifully. i`ve found that even poor recordings get a little helping hand and don`t sound too bad at all.
i think i`ve been very lucky in choosing all the right components of this system as one seems to compliment the other. even down to the tubes in the amp. i really had no idea music could sound this good!
