    A few days after getting my first tube amp I realized I needed to sell a whole room full of stuff...

    Congrats to the OP on your purchase. Enjoy!

    Every audiophile should at least listen once to a tube component in their audio journey.

    I did. Tube sound is like the siren songs, it lures you in and you are blissfully happy once you are hooked.

    Same with madmax. After my first tube amp, my wallet had seen incredible activities, making me poorer in the wallet but richer in tube sound experience.

    Tubes draw you further into the music and make you want to listen for extended periods of time. there is no turning back now as you have passed the point of no return :wink:

    I wish I could make the jump to tubes as I am a fan of the warm sound. Someday!
