Secondly... although this may be a good thing as you already like the sound...this was one of the first units in which C-J used proprietary teflon caps. I don't remember a break-in issue but the sound should only get better for you with time. I've never found the sound at all fatiguing and none of the reviewers that I've read did either. Is it as holographic as my LP140 tubes, probably not but it sure is faster with tighter lows. Back to the Ravens.

Enjoy the champaign beast!

Where does it say it has teflon caps?

The circuits employ polypropylene and polystyrene capacitors extensively, except in the main power supply storage, where special high-speed electrolytics are used because of the extremely high capacitance required.
