    Damn, no, I can't find any specific reference to tube rolling.
    Who the hell did I sell my DAC-01A to anyway?

    Only reference to the DAC I can find is in this post from my blog.

    The "Litter Singer" WTF?

    Will give it a try and see what the audio quality from phone to DAC is like. TBH I can do it with the Sky box in both my systems but the SQ is shockingly poor. This HAS to be better. Maybe

    Looks like Jerry has you covered. I would have thought the Tesla he has will be very good. Me? I just had to own a Western Electric valve. Never had one before.

    No it's the DAC-01A that I have modified, mainly because the valve stage input and output coupling capacitors were polyester.

    I do believe it was me Jerry.
    I've just looked at the original valve and it has 3 horizontal lines on either of a star type of emblem. I assumed it was Chinese.
