I was going to go for the Pro-ject Tube box S, but came off of the extra 140. I have a LARGE stock of 12AU7 tubes dating to the 50's, so I should have fun rolling them along. I have read this amp requires a pretty hefty break-in period of 70-100 hrs to "come alive". The first order of business is to replace the China tube with something else. Anyone have any suggestions? I have Bugle Boys, Telefunkens, Raytheon blackplates, RCA clear tops, Sylvania labeled Baldwin, 5953 "computer grade" 12au7's, GE's, and others I cannot recall just now. Wish me luck!
