        But I don't think I'm willing to spend that much for what I agree looks like a rebranded Psvane tube... when I can get various NOS 6SN7's in stock from reputable sellers (eg., Brent Jesse) for <$100.

        @yotacowboy I think Sophia uses hand selected Shuguang Treasures as well. I did buy a pretty decent sounding Psvane years ago but it had a short life.

        I found some actually increase their prices before the sale days and then lower them. My take is, if you think it’s a good deal whenever it is, just get it. Don’t wait 200+ days to “save” a little money for that SMSL amp. Also the good stuff don’t go on sale.

        And I forgot to mention: there's a local guy on this forum who loves buying cheap second-handed audio gear, (me,) so...

        But the shipping fee could be a pain, I just don't know how those forwarders can save that much on shipping!

        The first year my wife and I were dating I pretended I didn’t know it was Valentine’s Day. She hinted, but she didn’t want to embarrass me, so she said, “Oh, it’s, uh, Chinese New Year.” So I wished her a happy Chinese New Year. The thing is: it *was* Chinese New Year! So, for several years afterward, we celebrated Chinese New Year in style. The neighbors were really confused.

        Not necessarily, 8-10 weeks transit time according to postmaster this is normal, containers and boats with loads of stops. Problem is the software estimates are bogus.

        Doesn't everybody?

        Doesn't =everybody= have a disc (or more) full of stuff they downloaded, digitised from their own vinyl or tapes, ripped from CD, bought in digital format, didn't-buy in digital format, got given, etc etc?

        There’s a thread on JPlay’s forum. The claim is something with bit “stabilization” in memory. It’s just juju. There’s source code somewhere. The dev seems a bit off, struggles with mental health issues. It’s free at least, but my advice is avoid.

        Memories of plane trips 20 years and more back: carrying a little man-purse size thing that could accommodate a portable player and about a dozen disks. Had to be small enough to convince airline staff that it shouldn't count as an extra carry-on. Still got the player, not the case.

        I should say nice DR to mix balance - for the level of detail they’re capturing nice job not squashing or clipping. Ref Tool’s last album for the opposite.
