Dear Anand; I did not find this circuit to be dry, detailed yes, but I don't hear dry. Perhaps because we used Horace Atkinson's TVCs at the input, and maybe they allowed the sound to be richer from the 6C45Pi tubes. The linestage IS fully burned in because it lived at Château BottleHead for awhile, being compared with Dan's big TL-404 implemented headphone amp. One mention though, I was stunned at the rendition of bass notes through the Sennheiser HD600s, The Telarc vinyl edition of Holst's Wind Band Suites revealed drum whacks with plenty of snap, skin sound, and impact.... qualities I have not heard since I auditioned this disc on John Tuckers big system. However, I have only had the preamp for three weeks, so much listening needs to occur before I will be certain of its sound. So far, it sounds great! And I will report back with more later.
Cheers, Hank
