I have also ordered a second pair of the Telefunken Black Diamond tubes from Tube Depot, to serve either as a backup to the current pair (when I finally get around to putting them back into the 2300) or as my MM tubes should I decide to remove my Aragon phono preamp from the setup and go straight into the 2300; if I do that, I'd best start playing LPs more so as not to waste the tubes. Besides, I have two pair of everything else, so why not the BDs. I liked them when they were in the 2300 before, though they weren't much help taming the brightness of my "torture test" '60s CDs; only the JJs in there now have made any difference. But I've let that ship sail, I think, and it's time to move on.

Besides, it might be interesting to see how things sound once the impending power cord reconfigure is in place.
