Dick likes his hi-fi on the "rich" side, or so he says. You might take that into consideration. For instance, while Dick strongly recommended substituting optional KT88s for the EL-34s the RM-9 PP amp was designed for, I MUCH preferred the neutrality and tonal/timbral accuracy of EL-34s in that amp, thought they made it a cost-no-object contender, while the (albeit richer) KT88s rang like church bells.The biggest trap in audio upgrading is latching onto something that sounds 'amazing' for a while but subsequently wears thin, then gets annoying over time. To ward this off, I try to stick with what serves the 'sounds most like the real thing to me' constant. Otherwise, it can be flavor-of-the-month, like so many reviewers, who can, after all, change components like socks.
You know what you like. Is it music?
