Nice system indeed. I have the same pre-amp and find that the NOS Tungrsams' work wonders. Have you tried any other tubes with them. I switched from EH and found a significant improvement. Have you tried Bugle Boy, Telefunken, Siemens etc. Also there are claims that the AI pre-amp is rough on tube life. I have my Tungrsam for about 18 months and they sound fine. Any Thoughts? Enjoy.
