There are 2 loves in my life. The one above and the one below it.

warm amp with warm dacs

It is gonna be warmmmm

Kind of a lame response you got here, and you forgot to mention the warm and gooey new production stock tubes.

Tube rolling can do wonders for a TOTL tube amp, and it is going to be fun with this one no doubt. If I planned on staying with the stock tubes (of which I never do), then yes it would be too warm. The good thing is, there are 3 tube types and many different combos possible to dial in the sound. There is also many more tube rolling options when you throw adapters in the mix. I think it's funny and a bit strange how often TOTL tube amps get labled as sounding a certain way with just the stock tubes. Heck, I consider the warm and gooey new production stock tubes throwaways, and only use them to burn in the amp. I have been in the hobby since 2016, and have yet to see a proper review on a TOTL tube amp by the way, as no one ever tube rolls them in their reviews. . .

Mrs UT is also sometimes above, sometimes below as she loves it.

That's a higher love, on another plane. These are material love.

Life's about the moment and the moment is with KT66 that was introduced to the world by GEC-MOV in 1937 for audio purposes. It wasn't until 1956 that a successor KT88 came along. Picture is dedicated to Judith Durham of the Seekers fame who passed away last Friday.

A real beauty.
I just love when when aesthetics align with sound quality.

I agree @betula about aesthetics with sound quality. I see and I hear and it's the latter that wow me more. I've been listening to music since 3:30am and it's 5:30am now - the sun's coming up soon !
