| Which component is most responsible? 3 male voices is a simple task for decent system... 100 + voices with multiple counter harmonies is not. Carmina Burana is a piece my system struggles with for air and definition in massed chorus passages regardless of LP or digital. | |
| JPLAY - It aint subtle Lewinskih01, I pretty much run the PC- DAC setup you plan to evaluate except I have abandoned Jplay in favor of DLNA because of better mid range fidelity and vocal nuance sophistication. I often A/B with musicals where as much is said in tone and ... | |

| I'm a tube novice: Tube substitution? 7062's are a minor variant of 12AT7. Lots of not so great amperex 7062's available, I don't like them, the regular Amperex (Orange world globe) 12AT7's are better. People seem to like the older Bugle boy 12AT7 even more, can't say I've tried one | |
