RE: 80000 feet!

I've been waiting over two weeks for these mundorfs to break in, I was starting to think twice about them. It's funny how some capacitors break in all of a sudden within five or ten minutes and then slowly improve from that point. (Like my Black Gate experiences) I've just had one of those very special sessions there in the "zone" this evening, isn't that what we do this for, these moments.

Well I swapped the Brimars and Bendix a couple of times and for a tube that is truly superb the old Brimars, I'm in some ways a little surprised that the Bendix at ten years newer are just ahead of the game (for me anyway,) digging a little lower with a hair more solidity and a subtle extension in the soundstage, theres also a little more separation I think akin to putting a pair of glasses on and getting just a little bit more focus than usual.

So, I guess spooge cleaning is going to be on the "stand down" checklist from now on.
