Okay... Gave myself a birthday present. Ordered on the 26th, and it arrived on the 29th (from Hong Kong!). I've only had it for two days.

I haven't changed out the Chinese tubes yet (probably gonna go Yugoslavian). Thus far have mainly listened to jazz, with a few other recordings.

Overall, things seem a bit "warmer," I guess. I do know that I don't dislike the sound. I think it's gonna definitely stay in the signal chain until I get to play with some a/b/c type listening while not knowing which is plugged in. Noticed the biggest difference with the Dead's American Beauty remaster...

Cool...but do you have any specs for input and output impedance? That's the first task for a buffer of any sort, to get the basics right.

That's mighty fast delivery. How much did they charge for shipping?
Did you do your listening on the upstairs system or in the "Bunker"?

  Upstairs with the maggies... I think I overall like it... Gizmo cost about $50, shipping cost about $90.

    Well its much less than the Musical Fidelity one, so I think I will try one in the SS HT system, betweem the Pro and the amp.
