Tubes, too. I don't have a lot of tube experience, but the current production tubes I've tried all sounded bad compared to old stock tubes. Someone needs to send Justin some EL34 xf1 and xf2, Telefunken with five crimped plate, Philips metal-base and some Sylvania Fat Boys.
Although I am not sure I will send him my cans, I agree that Justin needs more of them to test out his amps. Also agree that he needs some good old NOS tubes. The new stock Mullards he had in Florida were better than the ones he had this last weekend and may account for some of the differences I was hearing. He should have some NOS options for review and then for purchase when he starts shipping.

Also at CanJam he was using an SCD-1. I'm sure the source played a large difference in the sound as well.

if anything the source in NorCal was a significant step up from CanJam. The NWO is a world class player that is incredibly smooth and detailed.

I would believe that. It didn't sound like what I am used to, and the competing DACs were competing too well.

I heard Dan's source was sketchy. My sources turned up pictures of his sources...

I assume I know his source, and wonder why he hasn't said anything publicly.

You know full well that the sound is directly linked to how much we paid for the gear!!
