    Can’t ask for more. Timbre of a Blackwood Auteur and the soundstage of the EC Af. Sounds like mixing a fantastic whiskey and cigar.

  I recall that you mentioned having a Morpheus on order. I don't recall hearing any impressions. Curious whether you received it and your thoughts on it? - Lee
  
  ETA: Located your thoughts on the Morpheous in a couple of threads. Sorry for the intrusion. - Lee

    I'm a fan of Ericsson input tubes also, been using their 5842s in my 445 for a couple years now. Neutral sound signature and high technical performance.

    Verité pads on, now the question is whether 1) 44.1/16 digital, 2) 48/24 rip of the vinyl, or 3) Qobuz 192/24... Doing 3), I hear it!
