Hi Teajay, have you tried your latest new tubes as of yet and if so what do you find the difference being.
Just curious, was there a reason why you choice these tubes?
Can you forward over where you got them, getting matched pairs from a reliable source is always nice to have and I'll need to get some.
I missed out getting a unit because I was out of town but I'm suppose to get one by week end, no demo's units available.
I bought a pair of PASS X600.5's and I'm really enjoying them with my Andra's, I prefer them over my McIntosh 501's.
I'm going to be able to get a pair of the XA160.5's to demo but I'm going to wait for a bit until I have the new Tube dac in my system for a bit, hope I have made the right choice. The MK4 is a reference piece that I really enjoy in my system.
I also read your review regarding the Flora pre., have you ever had a ARC REF3 or Supratek Sauv. (Cortese line stage)in your system to compare? I'm currently running all cables in balanced so to even demo this unit properly will be a task. Few reason; SE section's are not even broken-in along with I will have to then get a RCA cable and really should be the same as I'm use to which is Stealth Indra(with Stealth connectors, their latest version), as you know not cheap actually more than the Flora and it also needs to be broken-in. Just curious if it really is worth all the effort.
