I can second the Billies suggestion. I absolutely LOVE mine. They're in the "I can't wait to get home from work to be able to listen to some music" league for me. My wife's a bit disconcerted at all the time I spend sitting in front of the system listening. It's crazy!!!I've modded mine with silver wire, grid chokes, MU stage, AN copper foil .22uf coupling caps, and the small ultrapath version with a .38uf SCR cap in the Ultrapath position and a .33uf cap across the cathode resistor. The sound is stunning on good recordings. The SET magic on vocals is kind of freaky sometimes too :)
Next up for me is the Lady Day input tube mod and switching the hookup wire back to CCC copper. This won't happen for another month or two as I'm currently packing to move back to the U.S.
The sound system is definitely going to be the last thing to get packed. I'll be grooving in an empty house soon :)
