    Is that yours? The Stratus would have been my amp of choice if not for the ZDT.

    Yes! I am very lucky and bought the used one that was on here a while back. It took a bit to go to Donald and get a clean bill of health but very much worth the wait.

    Awesome! The stratus is one of the best amps I've heard that isn't unobtanium. Hope it brings you listening joys for years to come.

    Stratus is 2A3, yeah? Which 2A3's are you running?

    Ironically it's hardly a stark difference from NFB Aficionado.

    Is Stratus really that much better than EC to your liking? I mean, Stratus with a customized set of tubes is definitely endgame material (loving mine) but Afficionado or ZDS should probably be too...?

    @Magnetostatic_Tubephile ZDS was definitely not my thing but I can see how some people will like it. I think Stratus is one rung above ZDS in both design and performance. AF I will not comment on.

    @BillOhio it came with Shuguang 2A3B which aren't bad for $100/pr but sound crude next to NOS Miniwatt 2A3s. Looking at the possibility of obtaining EML or AVVT.
