You might like to look at this thread if you are not aware of it, and the pictures towards the end will be helpful.
Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

Hi Ollie Sounding really good mate. New Vincent CD dac only a couple of weeks old ,so still needs some time to burn in, I had one on home demo for some weeks and that sounded really good . Still not got round to upgrading the valves in the mono's but their sounding great as they are so will probably keep them as they are for the moment ☺
