Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

Brian I don't think anyone on here will have a WE 396A.
Fancy a Sylvania 5670 Gold Brand?
just fitted the tesla i got from jerry, and did the jumper mod. sounds good so far.

I'm Tony.
I'm using one of these, sounds nice.

Then again I replaced most of the dodgy no name Chinese Caps as well...
I'd be interested to know what other tubes people have used.
I saw mention of a Reflecktor tube but I can't find any links?
VPI Scout 1.1, Hana ML, Vanderveen MC10 SUT, WAD Phono3, Rpi3B+/Digione Signature, Xiang Sheng DAC-01, WAD KiT6550 and Reiver Edingdale SR
Thanks Tony . The Reflektor does sound markedly better than the supplied valve , however , the Western Electric 396A valve is easily the best I've heard in the XS DAC .
Here you go mate https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-new-o...-/382387181898

It's not too expensive to try different valves in the XS DAC as long as you don't have to import them from America
