    Yes the Mullards are lovely, but also quite expensive, not that that's a problem ! Personally I have the Russian reflector corp valves in my xcan and they are stunning and my are my all time favourite and are alot chaeper that the mullards if you can find them. If you love the xcan have a look...

    Azur 640C V2 + SR-225 + X-Can V3, sounds good?

    get it get it get it, the xcan is a fab amp, I also run the 640 as my source which is also every bit as good as an xcan ! I personally use sennheiser cans with mine but the grado's (which I nearly brought) are also a great choice with them. If your handy you can also modify the xcan, by...

    Power cord for my X-Canv3

    sorry - just reread and it says a 2nd power cord, why do you need two ? You can easy make one by buying the plugs and using wire to make up the length that you need, I did this from my power supply and tightly braided bigger black and blue wire together and then soldered on a new plug to the...

    I take it you mean the entire cord with the wall mounted power supply, when you upgrade go to a bigger 500ma one at least, if you want even better you can buy a musical fidelity power supply to power your amp, or you could very easily make your own if your handy at things - view...
