x3workshop: "Contact me if you want a pair of 807's to try for a little while. Happy to lend you a pair."
Thanks so much for the kind offer. Currently, I have my hands full with potential interesting combinations to try with all my new tubes (KT-66, KT-77, 350B, 6550, CV-181 TII, CV-181 black glass), from which I've only tried the first two with only one different CV-181 so far as well as only one type (56 or 27) in the preamp. I'm sure the 807's may be nice too, so I'll keep your offer under consideration for later on
I'll be reporting on my impressions on the 350B and 6550 (both Valve Art). The 6P3S-E's did not compete with the KT-66's and KT-77's in spite of the new CV-181's, and remain in an important third place in my preferences. I'm convinced my gear has risen a significant notch in SQ with the new acquisitions and I feel very happy about it!
