I've been living with a pair of XlS Encores, while I feel unqualified to comment on sound, at times the soundstage / imaging blow my mind :)

Something about leaving the sw51+ on for a few days adds a subtle euphoric warmth and liquidity to the sound, especially if off noisy power.

  I'd only do that when new to break it in, but it's not worth leaving a tube amp on all the time even if the tubes are super cheap.

PI3B+ sounds better then PI2B, more plankton/coherency/separation. Now I only have to lay awake at night thinking about how the PI4B sounds!

  Yes, I believe so. File name of iso is moode-r640-iso, not sure how I can check while interfacing with the rpi.

SW51+ impressions are good with stock tubes, but aftermarket tubes "tube up" the sound. Impression write up soon, maybe a week.
