Hi guys and gals,
I think it is time for me to jump in.
I apologize that I haven't read through the entire thread, YET. I will. I have read a lot.
My huge multi-piece system is in boxes in the garage since my relocation to a new state, Texas.
see it here -

It will eventually be setup, sampled, and then sold off.
Of course I will upload the files for all to use on the PRIR exchange thread - http://www.head-fi.org/t/610920/smyth-svs-realiser-prir-exchange-thread
My new A8 should be on the way to me this week.
I would like some early recommendations, if you please.
I am using some King Sound H3 and M20 (Bugle Boy 12AX7's at input and Blue Circle BC-68 power cord).
I have a Son of Q Equi=tech arriving today, and a PurePower 1050 early next week.
I am currently using a W4S slightly modified DAC-2 with active, tube shielded interconnects.
This is more revealing of subtleties in many recordings (16/44.1 rips) than my big rig was.
When I sample my big rig, which images amazingly, and the A8 recreates that through my headphones, will I loose the additional inner detail I am now enjoying from my new electrostatic headphones?
Any early suggestions?
Thanks for any help.
New to headphones,
Bruce
