Just thought I'd check in. Swapped the stock tubes out of the BAT preamp and replaced 6 x 6922 Amperex NOS and 2 Tung Sol NOS 5881s ("best ever made" Brent Jessee).

Broke them in over the past week. (Tubes really do need break-in).

Oh my goodness! Most noticeable differences between the BATS and the Line Magnetic ... the attack, Piano sounds like a real piano, guitars sound so real. I wish you all could come by and hear this.

Best regards from tube-city.

Happy New Year.

PS I picked up a pair of Tron Trager stands for the Harbeth 30.2s. (Don't ask).

Whaddya know. They made great sound greater.
