Alright. The famous Gold Lion tubes went in this afternoon. They will get at least the minimum one month in there; I may just leave them in. I don't think I'll be doing anything more in the way of tubes, except perhaps to get some el cheap ones for the MM and MC inputs when the stock tubes give out. For the line section, it's up to those I have.
After only 2:37 on them, the GLs are crisper than the JJs, and not as warm. I do hope they smooth out as things move forward, though.
