Back home again! And what was waiting in my mailbox? Some old Philips glass from France! Time to do some rolling!

Ooooooh, do tell! Whatcha get?
Sceleratus' favorite: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111037665429?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 RTC E188CC.
But I guess they're actually from Holland, though the brand is definitely French.
I have been sneaking listens between doses of pink noise, and I must say, they really sound nice! I am surprised they sound so good after so little burn in. I have to admit, just like Sceleratus and other here have said, they really do have an amazing, almost 3D soundstage! And they sound so airy and spacious. the treble is really smooth and nice, yet detailed.
But I'm going to wait until at least 20 hours before I do any serious comparisons...
Awesome. I was raving about them back when and I felt like my voice was lost in this thread. I am glad to see others trying them , they are by far my favorites (along with the Dario Miniwatts)
I wouldn't say "lost" per se, it's more like folks were hesitant. When one person says "these are awesome", it peaks everyone's interest but until a few more folks start lauding them, it's hard to jump on the bandwagon.We needed a few more guinea pigs...
Cheers!

PS - It was the same way with the Lorenz Stuttgart Tubes...
Yeah, I agree. I had some real stinkers based on some of the experiences of others, we all hear different. For instance, I detest the Russian tubes(in the Lyr) whereas others love them.
Sorry, no slight intended...
