Hi Phillip,
How are you? Do you have the new limited edition EML Anniversary 45 MESH Globes?
I can only think of AL and another guy in Texas who have true HeadDacs (not just HP outputs). AL knows the Tx fellow, so he is the best one to comment. Yesterday, he told me that he is now in the process of checking out his tube stash with SPEAKERS (Infinity IRS V), so I guess he could have great impressions/feedback soon. He will be getting his Mesh globes in a week or so as well.
If I can make a projection on the collection of impressions read so far, I guess the EML 45 solid and the PSVANE and WE 101ds may be among the most linear and silent tubes. Lukasz did say as well that the KR PX04 are the quietest of the lot if memory serves me right.
BTW, I hear that there will be a lovely Kron 5u4g recti on the horizon that will be superb!
