rikm - will guess that the better sound is more the result of new tubes rather than going to an 84m. 6-7 years is quite a few on a power tube. Even an EL84.
Glenn, congratulations! I'm listening to Schubert's Octet on my SQ-N100 now. I think you'll be quite happy with yours. What speakers will you be using wth it? And are you thinking of the companion disc player? It would make an attractive setup.
