Listening Impressions

Still a Work in Progress. The Unity's need to be tamed and domesticised Too much Gain from the SP8 - Gain reduction mod on the cards SP8's 12AX7's need replacement to lower noise floor. The 301 needs a new plinth - Granite does not work for me Low level listening is awesome - at high levels, this sounds like a PA system.
