It's not a PS PerfectWave, the only DAC in my chain is DAVE fronted by a Hugo M-Scaler...though I can see where you might think it's a PerfectWave :). The PS unit is actually DirectStream PowerPlant 12 - I have horrible voltage fluctuation at my house and quite a bit of distortion on the line...

Check the original post above again...pic should be visible now, not sure what happened last time. I can see it - let me know if you can't.

Good move ordering the select set. That's what I did - didn't want to take any chances given previous whisperings about QA and all that. Grant Fidelity out of Canada who fulfills the orders is extremely prompt and the tubes come packaged well. Don't be alarmed by the unorthodox foam packaging...

Though I don't have nearly as much mindshare on these forums as RubyTiger, I can confirm that the Acme Supreme's are something to behold. As it has been noted a couple of times they're certainly not cheap - but to give you an idea of how taken I am with their performance I've since ordered a...

Hi folks - felt like this post was way overdue. Longtime lurker, first time poster. DNA Stellaris number 0010 checking in - have had it several months now and haven't had time to tear myself away from it long enough to write a post...kidding. Though in all seriousness, this incredible piece...
