It's an optical illusion, my friend.
That cable sweeps past that tube like comets sweep past the sun. (For the time being.)
Besides, that tube never gets hot. I can touch it and not get burned.
 

 
I didn't believe it either so I just touched it. All cold, no blisters!

New gear, today... Eric at Audio Perfection: "...why not take it home and try it out... see if you like it..."  Oh, o-h-h-k-a-a-a-y.
 
So, I added the Bel Canto REFLink into Mac Book playback chain:
 
MacBook Retina w/ Audirvana+ --> Curious USB Cable --> UpTone REGEN + 6v Linear PS --> REFLink --> Rega DAC --> amps...

Still running HD600 and HD650 out of my highly modified Bottlhead Crack (still a head-fier!), but I had to post the latest arrival.  Crites Cornscala B loudspeakers (unfinished birch for now) being driven by either LP12/Eros or MacBook/Rega DAC-R into a Rega Brio-R...a very fun sounding system!  I've been reducing my overall investment in hi-fi but wanted to take the opportunity to try something very different...and the Cornscala B certainly fits the bill!  
 
They're set up where I normally put things right now and sound great, but I'm going to set them up longways on the rug as well to get more distance between them.  Let the experimenting begin!

Nice looking listening room... please take a photo or two of the equipment rack and post. Looks cool over there, but hard to see.

Trying mojo as a desktop DAC through itube and ican. Very happy with the sound through the T1.2's


Me too, doing the same. Althought with added Audeze's LCD2 and AKG Q701 which both, btw sound excellent. What are you using for connection from Mojo to iTube? Me, personally, optical input (VdH Optocoupler), audioquest 3,5mm - RCA adapter and XLO - iTube - DiMarzio to iCan. I hear the difference, clearly... However, some recordings sound the same or even better directly from Mojo.

I'm using a forza audioworks 3.5mm to rca, decent cable and great length. Enjoying this setup a lot. Probably give it another few weeks and then put the idac back in the loop and figure out what I like better.
