    @msommers if you just want to start with 300B I can sell you my EH300Bs at a cheap ass price. You can search for your own dose of 300B later.

  My own Christmas gift arrived today: new 6SN7 to play with. Popping them in now and I'm just blown away...modern equivalents suck.

    Psvane and TJ are the higher end iterations from Shuguang. Could be the amount of gold bling may be all that differentiates. I would rather find a strong NOS than mess with these. You could get 2-4 of NOS for the price of one of these.

    David I got some Sylvania GTB Chrome Domes and RCA VT-231 Grey Glass. Was tempted to get Ken-Rad VT-231 but honestly the RCAs bring enough bass for me. I thought my system was bass light but I think it was the Chinese tubes...

  Upgraded the DSJr to Snowmass this weekend. Without a doubt the best this dac has sounded in my system, by a big margin (previous ones meh)

    Pretty sure you're being cheeky...but it actually is great. Each one sounds slightly different and is more like tube variation than anything. But this version is definitely my favourite. Not to mention free!

    I would have assumed such differences would be tiny, along the lines of differences between filter types.
    
    Also, this isn't the first firmware upgrade, so I expect they run into diminishing returns at some point?

    Previous versions haven't been that obvious of a change for these ears. This is the first one that really stands out from the crowd for me. Hence the excitement.

    Did mine a month ago, I am apparently ultra allergic to our local grass and cats. Kinda wish I hadn't taken the test!

    @Pyruvate That's the dream but hardly a reality at this point! I'll be much more optimistic if I can get into med school first ;) Getting there, one step at a time.

    If a dislike could bring it back down to 888, I would give you one.
    But soon you can appreciate 999. Or avoid 911.

    I'm in Greater Toronto and taking some time off work as we list our house. If anyone Did take advantage of this and wanted a contact and some support on this end (ride from the airport, use of a Canadian cell phone while getting bearings, possibly a place to crash for a night , whatever) I'd be more than happy to be of some use.

  How do you like your PrimaLuna? My time demoing the Premium HP integrated was great. I'd have already purchased if it wasn't so much money.
