Jimmy H used an EMT with VDH tip for a while and i found, at the time, it to be a little straight laced and "correct" in an objective sense. It'll be interesting to see and hear how it copes with modern sources and step-ups..

I wonder if my Koetsu Black is repairable (it's lost a channel)? When working it sounded sublime, with weight but no bloat and life without any harshness....
