No more tube-rolling for me for a while, as my mesh plate turned out to be still alive! (go figure, it is back working flawlessly). I need to concentrate in getting the EITR and the Audiophile Optimizer, and setup the virtual stream server with JPlayer/Linn Kazoo/MinimServer and call it quits, finally.

I'm curious to know if someone has had a chance to compare PSE vs SE Inspire amp designs, with the same tube types, and could comment on sound quality differences (other than SPL's). Since everything is relative, it would not matter whether the configuration (which has to be the same in both alternatives) is Pentode or Triode-strapped, as I'm sure differences, if real, would carry out to both configurations. Thanks!
