I’ve tried all of these including TS SN7s. A buddy has a huge collection and demos. My NoS Sylvanias are truly one of the more open and transparent in my preamp.

Maybe that was good with my old DAC but maybe not such a great synergy with this new Benchmark DAC. Not sure I want to change out my Sylvanias. They do command good money on FleaBay though. Hmmm.

Will have to consider A) other front end tubes or B) other DAC. Thx.
