MHDT Havana owners.....question


Just received my Havana today. I have it running in but was curious what owners have heard once this think breaks in? I think it sounds pretty good out of the box, but my TRL modified Sony is pacing it neck and neck. Thoughts?

I just bought one of these tubes on ebay for 7.50 including shipping. Guess I'll find out first hand how good it is.

Thanks for the tip on the Russian tubes!

Did you guys get charged sales tax? Don't think these guys in RUSSIA are supposed charge California sales tax. Granted, Paypal source is US, but in MN. +9.75% at that -- I don't know of any sales tax rate that high in CA. Yeah, 48 cents, big deal, but it's the principle...
Russian 6H3Ne tubes are really good in the Havana, in fact dollar for dollar they beat out all-of-the-above. Nice extension top and bottom, nice soundstage too.
I also just ordered a 6H3N-E and I also ordered a 6H3N-i from the Ukraine. Not sure what the difference is but the seller was calling them a matched pair? He is calling them military grade from the 70s and 80s. Since I'm only using one at a time I figured for $11.00 total what the heck.
I received my Russian 6h3n tube last week and I am very impressed with it. This and more break in on the DAC/SB/CIA PS and I am very happy with the performance.
