nothing wrong with the highs, however they do not so "air" like TW tubes ( especially at higher volumes) and tubes are a bit more 3d like in depth and soundstage. no free lunch as you know :-(
I am actually thinking about the ARC ref2 se phono. When I tried the ref2 a while back it had tremendous transparency and air, quite a bit better than the TW. It lacked bass drive so I did not persue. From all reports the SE version brings that drive and bass tightness that I felt was missing.
Don't think I will get opportunity to hear the Ypsilon now.
