Nice to hear of you positive experience with the valves. I like the option to modify the sound to suit my taste and the surroundings with valves. I am still a newbie with the valves, but have enjoyed the whole time with big grin in my face. Tube rolling rocks

Other thing I have noticed is that I am able to keep on listening different kind of music much longer, I mean hours after hours without becoming fatigued or needing a break. When I have the time I can just flip the records one after another and enjoy the music without concentrating what is missing.

Enjoy.
