......... after listening to the stock tubes for ~48hr of run-time, have rolled in a pair of matched triode NOS Tungsram ECC82s and a new reissue gold-pin Tung-Sol ECC83 and an immediate widening & deepening of the sound-stage with pin-point location of the players. Should be even better after another 48hr, or so, of tube run-in. I was starting to worry about all of this with the stock tubes. With such a nice improvement in sonics with these tubes, am really looking forward to the arrival of the new output tubes.
