Yes, they certainly are. I see the Euro at USD1.27. So, using the web site Philippe gave us, even the more expensive Diamond version at EUR160 comes to USD203 and the less expensive Select version at EUR110 comes to about USD140. That's a really substantial difference. |

Which, aside from the reliability and satisfactory performance I get from them, is why I'm sticking with the stock EH's and using the "saved" $900 to apply toward a speaker cable upgrade. I'd like to do both the EATs and the SC, but....

My view on the whole tube rolling topic is that 95% of the performance of a tube component is coming from the design and parts selection. About 5% can be controlled with different makes of tubes that is assuming you are using a good (known brand) tube to begin with and it is not faulty.
How much you want to spend on that last 5% is any ones personal choice. I personally feel that more tuning of the sound can be achieved with interconnects and power cords. No disrespect intended this is just my 2c. |

How the cable upgrades implemented thus far have demonstrated the ability of c-j gear not to screw up the music fed to it* has been illuminating, to say the least. Which is why I'd like to complete the synergistic circle (or, more accurately, the loom) with an SC upgrade before even considering whether I want to try the EAT. *Inelegant, offbeat, and lefthanded way of putting it, perhaps, but it's the ability of control and amplification electronics to stay out of the way that impresses me most. Besides, I'm a southpaw.

Regarding cables, I personally am of the opinion that power cords have the biggest effect, more than ICs or speaker cables.

Funny, I find speaker cables to have the biggest effect on ones system. My Transparent, Kimber, Nordost and Pure Note speakers cables all sound quite a bit different. |
