About a year difference between the square getter and O getter? I'd expect the older tube to sound better. What are your initial impressions?

As of right now. I mean these are literally out of the box. The O and Square getter are VERY similar in sound. The square sounds a little bigger in dimensionality. Has more clarity and a cleaner /sharper image. The bass on the square at this point is lagging behind the O in impact and slam. Tonally though they're so close.

The initial thing that jumped out at me was the size of the image. Just seems bigger than the O but I'll do A/B once I get to 100. Lol

I am right there with ya and completely agree with everything said. I am digging the added clarity, slightly cleaner vocals, and sharper transients so far.

Well, here's my 2nd rate, 2nd tier O-getters. I feel like I'm in the cheap seats. Shrug. They test very nicely...maybe they won't suck compared to the D-getters. Thanks for raining on my parade, @TK16 .

No, I haven't listened to them yet. I'll give 'em 25 hours before first listen, as improvements from there should be incremental rather than substantial.

TBH they sounded fantastic with a 10 minute burn in.

I’m still in the honeymoon phase with my 57 halos not sure of date cause they’re in amp now. My question should I burn in 4033 halos from 3rd week of April ‘57 or the 455 square getter from 1st week of february ‘56. . I’m still basking in the live musical soundstage in my original set, having a hard time taking them out, enjoying the late nights of musical bliss way too much

Speaking of FU's...FU !!! You've got a WA33. You're my freaking hero for life. Send me the pair of Footscrays you just bought for my pitiful little WA2. I can't
afford my own back-up pair.

“Oh, by the way, if you have a couple of spare Brimar EZ81s n/i/b, send those too…”

Oh, it is ez to be a dummy and spend money. My crazy move was the speakers.. and.. I’m done.
i don’t have a car… so tubes, speakers and dac are my mid life crisis/covid buys.

If only the mj2 was in black… and it wasn’t with schiit now being repaired.
are the scary feet taming the 800s? I’ve not used them in some time, but if they can turn the bright down of the hd800s… then hopefully the focals too.

Couple things...#1: your WA33 is worth more than my car; and #2: you thought those 800S's were screetchy BEFORE the Scary Feet. Ha !!! For your sake, let me take those bad boys off your hands.
