I just got mine back from Dan. If you think the Oppo is a good player, this thing is many levels above it. Even with the stock tubes (which I've since replaced with Mullards and an RCA vintage 1944 rectifier) it sounded great. The NOS tubes take it to a whole other place. The soundstage is huge, stretches from wall to wall in my listening room, the noise floor is much lower and the level of detail is incredible. I'm very happy with what I got back and believe this is the best player I've ever owned.
