Music sounds good. I like the VAC a lot. It replaced my VTL MB-450s. I would like to hear into the music a little more. So, I am planning to add a sub-panel on the otherside of the wall where my rack sits. I have 15' of the JPS A/C cable for 3 outlets and I an using standard 10 guage for the other three. I will let everyone if I hear a difference.
I am also soon to send my speakers to Bobby for the Magic Modification.
Then, I am planning to ask Michael Wolff for two gain Cords to try on the VAC. I am very impressed with the Source Cords on my Transport and DAC.
Finally, I also want to try a few other 6SN7s if anyone has any ideas.
Long-term my goal is to try a Lamm M1.2, a Tenor Hybrid 150, or a Dartzeel NHB-108.
Since I have 3 young children, I have a locking Salamander Synergy twin 40 between and a couple of feet to the rear of my speakers. I think this could be a limiting factor for the best performance. So, I have considered drilling holes in the base of it and having two Sistrum racks side by side in side the Salamander.
I have no room treatments in a basement that is 18' on the speaker wall, 26' deep and 7-8' high. This adjoins another room of the same dimension. The whole room is divided by a drywalled staircase that starts at the speaker wall and extends 1/2 way into the room .
If anyone has any suggestions, I would certainly appreciate them.
