Loving the bugle boys. Very holographic sound stage. Treble still has extension but is nowhere near as harsh. Headphones/Amp has burned in some so that might have something to do with it as well. Biggest change so far is I stay in ultralinear mode now for the most part. Really curious how...

First week in the treble seems to have calmed down quite a bit. I think the LCD-3s have burnt in and seemed to have settled down some. Not getting the fatigue I was initially, I can listen for hours now. If only I always had that much time! Been doing some research on tube rolling but trying to...

Thanks it's good to be back! I couldn't get over how heavy it is 😰.

Been out of the audio game for a while, about 5 years now. Graduation, house, kids aka life happened to me 🤣. Ended up selling most of my gear to fund different things we were needing at the time. Finally got back in a position where I could start back where I left off. I still remember how...

Ahh ok just checking. 

Are you using stock tubes? I looked at your profile and with that power regenerator its probably not coming through an outlet.  Most likely coming from your tubes.

Decware amps come with a lifetime warranty and eddie current only has a 5 year warranty, so that is something to consider as well.

LOVE the Brimar, it so sweet!

I know everyone has pretty much seen this duo before but I figured I would upload some photos anyway.  The woods do look different, as you can see the CSP3 is has some lighter tones. Honestly it doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would both are gorgeous in their own way and I'm fine...

How does the cryoset differ from the stock tubes? Thanks for the suggestions guys, makes me feel a bit better that my tubes aren't bad at least.

Definitely a different style. I do appreciate the newer models being flat on top so stacking is a possibility. That was impossible with the original e1

I left mine on pretty much non stop and never had any problems. 

So I tried swapping out the left and right tubes in the CSP3 with some Sylvania 6922 Jan Green labels. Both came in the original boxes, look mint and I assumed they were. When I turned it on, horrible screeching that is not present with the stock tubes. Kind of dissapointing as I was wanting to...

The NFB 7.1 looks really similiar to the Master 7. General layout seems the same at least.
