Thanks for the offer,I particularly like seafood.. ;-)Well, when it comes to multiple tube locations in the system for the same type thats where things get interesting. I found that skimping on the DAC was analagous to scrimping on the cartridge in the old analog turntable days (uh, sorry! current analog turntable days for some of you!). A better preamp can't add back what the source filters out (or fails to retrieve) so in my experience both are critical. One way to deal with that is to buy tubes from people other than Kevin Deal (sorry about that Kevin!) as he's got the highest prices on NOS tubes in the western hemisphere. Check folks like SND tube sales (vacuumtubes.com)and Tube World (tubeworld.com) for a start & you can probably afford 3 premium tubes for less than the price Mr K charges for 2...Even Electron Valve Enterprises (electron-valve.com) has better prices on some of the Amperexes and the like.
Good luck!
Joe
