I still have 2 more au-7 tubes to buy, plus 4 kt88 for the power section. Because of the price and other responsibilities I have to take my time with purchasing but the improvements are amazing. The noise floor and distortion are noticeably reduced.The Musical Gods at Wathen have blessed me with amazing sound.
