I still can't believe Dennis Had call Bcowen a good friend and audio golden ear. All this while I treated him like my caddy. I'm sorry Bill for such disrespect but I'll up your pay by $1.
This should be a lesson to you. Doubling my pay is a good start though. :laughing:

Ah, I missed that whole exchange. Bcowen you should seek out some of Dennis's newer amps, they are amazing! I love my Firebottle kt88 amp even though I don't use kt88s with them.
Yeah, I need to get back in touch with him. It's been way too long.

Yin and Yang has arrived. GEC A2900 and TFK ECC801s. These tubes are so new ! Well they are new. Like brand new. Thanks Tom. Wonderful person he is. Thanks to Octa for alerting me to his 4sale thread. I think the GEC A2900 are gone now but there should still be 801s available.

I'm usually not one of those who must use tubes of the same brand. I like to mix and match but now I have GEC A2900 as driver, GEC KT88 as power tubes and Sittard GZ34 for rectifier duties. Headphone is He1000se and dac is NAD M51.

Song is Phantom of the Opera by Sarah Brightman, followed by Don't Cry for me Argentina by Katherine Jenkins. Omg what a performance. I did not expect these GEC combo to excel but it more than excel. It soar and soar, upwards and didn't come down again. Tonight I'm watching Phantom of the Opera live but I doubt it will be better than what I am hearing now. So magnificent is the performance, I'm breathless. And I haven't try the TFK ECC801s yet !

Incredibly transparent, ultra revealing top end and holographic soundstage. The TFK ECC801s sounded sharper but pair very well with the GEC KT88. It's too early for me to post anything more or state which I prefer. Alright that's enough or tonight live show will be a wash out.
