My point about the x-ray machine was that it would be pretty difficult for us to spot a miswire on a tube socket with PC boards blocking the view of the sockets in the photos.

Hey Allan..

So have you had a chance to listen to the amp yet..and what are your impressions?

I have been going thru my T1's and a backup set of tubes...and tonight I am trying my T90s...

I put a new set of earpads on them and new inner foam inserts...from Beyer...

Gosh these T90s that most folks think are too bright on the upper end work wonderfully with the Mainline.

I use Brian Bombergs "Wood" cd for my bass testing...and its about as good as it gets....very nice, accurate, tonality is very natural, musical...

I finally got my A/B set-up, set-up! I can now easily switch between a Magni3, Black Widow 2, Crack, and Mainline. I'm focusing on comparing the SS to each other, and the tube amps to each other.

So far I've only compared the Mainline to the Crack with an HD6xx.

Crack: smoother. bass a bit looser
Mainline: Tighter bass. More byte/detail with the mainline, but not fatiguing.
Mainline is a bit more forward. More presence with the mainline. Maybe better staging
Mainline is just clearer and more enjoyable.

The Crack is very tube dependent. I'm using a Siemens Silver Plates 12AU7 and a NOS Tung-Sol 7236.
