Tried it, didn't like it at all.Phillips Ecc82 tubes, my favorite out of 8 or so vintage tries.The Aja SACD sounded bloated and slow. Heavy big thick mid-range and very little high end. Ride cymbals were gone, forget the triangle.Very holographic, but unnaturally so.Switched back after the first 2 tracks, and felt I had to chime in with my 2 cents. But hey, everyone should give it a go. If you like it - good for you! If not, it's a 30 second swap back. Awesome preamp!
I'm sure different tubes react differently. I suspect that's why we like tubes...
