Re: Tube Life for Shindo Haut Brion & Masseto

Re: Does anyone have the original Mullards in their Montille?
I eventually found some EI tubes with the KM4 code. They do sound the same as the originals which is great. The surprise so far is the influence of the 6AW8a.

Re: How to replace my Sooloos
Same here. I use a streamer to connect to my dac via spdif. It would be an easy temporary solution. Although yet another (small) box and power supply.
