With Jensen copper foil PIO caps and left the K40 's in the output coupling spot in my VTA-120 amp. Now after 100hours breaking it's starting to open up and sound really nice! Very musical with a sweet mid and very good bass. I don't know how long the K40's have to break-in to sound their best but can only imagine how how much better it will get with more hours of breaking in.

I'm very happy I made this purchase to build this kit.
