I'm being offered US$300 for a hot rodded (by a realiable and skilled local technician) older MG Head (no OTL) or US$320 for the MG Head OTL.
What are the differences between these two models?
How would they compare vs. my Musical Fidelity's X-Cans v2 currently used w/ stock wal-wart PSU and stock Yugo 6DJ8 ECC88 tubes (I haven't checked w/ MF if they ever released X-Cans v2s with this tube)?
I currently use an HD495 but will move over to the HD600 after hopefully haggling successfully with the local dealer (we're now at US$300).
Would you consider a move from the X-Cans v2 to ASL an upgrade? I'm basically OK with my X-Cans v2 except for sibilance on some CDs (played on a NAD 502). I tried my X-Cans w/ X-PSU and with a pair of HD580's and sibilance went down a bit due to better bass perhaps distracting me from the sibilance that was still there. Think either ASLs will cure this?
TIA!
