I just heard Pete's Dude and Samson monos last weekend and was very impressed. Should be a fun time for you!

Like the single volume knob as opposed to the dual.

Just curious, why did you choose this unit? I notice unlike your last piece, this one is AC powered.

It will sound fine out of the box but 100 hours will shift it better. 400 hours is the mark you are after. I left my system on 24/7 to get there as fast as I could.

What tubes did he give you for left and right?

I hope so...I do know it wasn't fun to unpack. The packing is incredible. Unlike anthing I've ever seen.

Me too! Also, can't do remote volume with dual.

OK. Look forward to hearing it at its best.

The first thing I do is open the unit up and see what is what inside. I do this with almost all my gear. I check the connections and tubes to see if all is kosher. I check the screws and casework as well. So I assumed you popped the hood to see if the tubes were seated properly and what they were.

OK. We all do different things I suppose.

Yeah, I've been burned before for not doing that.

And I've been burned not using my DMM on each channel before. With four subs and two mains I make sure that I have input and output first.

So how does it sound?
