Harbeth 30.1s in the house - I think I'm done

Serge - I believe we’ve been corresponding under different avatars on a different forum about this subject. I was wondering, did you do any tube rolling in using the PL in connection with your 30.2s?

We have! :) I have not tube rolled yet. I've always liked the EL34 sound in general and the PrimaLuna opens up so many possibilities from EL34 all the way to KT150s that I believe there is quite a bit of leeway there to tweak the sound to your preference for even better synergy. I'm enjoying it at is with the stock EL34s for the next couple of months at least until if fully breaks in and I can understand where I want to take it with other tubes.
 
I’m pretty happy with the EL34s myself, but curiosity has gotten the best of me and on the basis of other comments I’d read I’ve ordered 2 Cifte tubes to replace the middle 2 12AU7s in the front row Preamp tubes of the PL. I’ll report back on any difference I hear once they come in and they’ve been burned in. As an aside, despite some really troll like comments I’ve read about him elsewhere, Kevin Deal has been a delight to work with and has been really responsive. Chris
 
Never had any problems with Kevin Deal. I've purchased quite a few things from him over the last 15 years or so. Looking forward to your impressions with the Cifte tube swap.
