Gentlemen, I am really thrilled by the fact that your impressions are mostly positive. I had to force this design upon our company, because it was not in line with the lineage, not in line with the price pyramid, not consistent visually and generally noone wanted it from the inside of the factory.
It could have been my spectalular flop personally but fortunately it is the opposite.
We started selling the PLUS version but the sonic difference is very small, I really like the base model. The PLUS has maybe a touch more defined and more controlled deeper bass. Which addresses the minor compaints above in this thread. We also have a 6N6P to ECC182 adapters so the changeover can be very quick. Tall chassis allows for the adapters and tall triodes. We just secured 10 more boards from Horizon engine upgrades so this will keep us working till the late end of summer.
