This is going to be my Compass partner ...

I've replaced the stock power cable with a XLO/PRO PL1500 cable with anti-shock net wrapping with Oyaide C-046e conductor and a MK 13A (hospital grade) plug.

The RCA cable is a StreetWires ZeroNoise9.

The wooden box on the left contains some spare tubes like RFT 6H8C / 6SN7, NEC 6080 and Sylvana 6080.

Can't wait to give this baby a spin ..

Btw, can I place the DV on top the Compass as I've limited desk space?

Congratulations and yes, you can stack them if you want. It is best to keep them separated though. It can get pretty warm for example if you stack them.

Congrats! It's a nice amp. You'll want to get a nice 6SN7 type tube to use in it.

Ha. that's where you come in Skylab. Which tubes you would recommend for a non-audiophile like me? I listen to songs from the late 50's right up to the 90's.
