Hi Charles.
Yes, much more than I actually expected. As natural and transparent as the CSLS is, I sincerely found this new PC a game changer. Also when you consider the price,it astonishing to be able to get such a leap in performance, of an already outstanding linestage,for such a relatively tiny investment. For me, the improvement was instantaneous and very obvious right out of the box. And it is still not finished breaking in!
I have ordered more PCs for my Dragons and Franks and I am really looking forward to the synergistic improvements that I should experience.
BTW I switched my Black Bottle Psvanes on the Franks for the Royal Princess , which I thought was a very nice improvement. Not that the BB Psvanes were bad, I actually think they are very good for the money, but the Sophias just did things a bit better.
I actually kept the BB but moved then to my Dragons ,driving the Pure Reference Extreme subs, and was a bit surprised on how they improved the subs, being that on the Dragons the 300b are not the output tubes.
I recently was able to source a matched pair of AVVT 300b SL and really look forward to hearing a tube with such a great reputation and lineage.
Regards,
David
