Thanks buddie.
Incredible how productive a "labor day" can be!
After maybe 5 or 6 hours only it's starting to smooth. The beast is amazing. My only thought of describing the sound vs the FP3 is a more natural sound. That damn cathode follower does add distortion. Maybe not much and not noticeable clearly until it's out of the circuit. And I guess the linearity of the dht tube is playing a part too. Damn, the best system in the world just got better!
