I'd be more interested to see how they're generating the B+ voltage for that tube -- values of around +100 V DC or more are typically required. I can just imagine how the circuitry for *that* affects noise performance in the DAC... Cheers! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |Frederick F.
