Tried with two different tube pre-amps but just did nothing for me. Wrong speaker, wrong setup me thinks.

    I'm considering a system overhaul in light of a house move anyway so I may be back to square one as it were!
    Ah, fair enough. Just wondered as the one I heard at Alan's had some miles on I believe. Didn't sound flat or anything other than excellent.

    Can't grumble of you gave them a fair chance, and it sounds like you did.

    In a lot of ways it was reassuring. Sounds silly but switching my usual amp back in after a couple of days was a real joy. Especially after Alan had his fingers inside it . . . .

    Break-in is real, more so with some components than others but like I say I reckon there was a system mis-match not helping things.

    You can say that again . . . .

    Sounds like he's getting a bit of a bombardment from all sides at the moment but he has brought it on himself somewhat (by making stuff super awesome . . . )
