Thanks shadorne!  Wow...favorite tubes.  I have run them all thru the C-2300 including the rarest original Genalex Gold Lion B759's...really pretty with a huge soundstage but my favorites are 1) early Mullard Longplates mC1's & f91's 2) Mullard 10M Master Series.  I also like the Mazda 12AX7 Silver plates and the Sylvania 5751 Triple Mica Black Plates.  Interesting side note and something I can't even begin to explain, I had the Mullards in house for 2 years and tried them several times and they were awful in my rig...bought and installed the SR Grounding system and decided to try them one last time  before I sold them and they were INCREDIBLE!  No idea what impact the grounding did, but it was transformative....blew my mind!  If you get a chance to try grounding....do it.  Huge impact on every component including the REL's which were already very good....tighter, more impact and more 3D.  Hard to believe.
Happy listening!

Awesome setup. Classic Tube preamp and monster SS power amp - sweet! What are your favourite tubes?

I'm headed to Ikea to check out the Poang this weekend.  Good to know you prefer the cloth to the leather, as I assumed leather was the better option.

Hello pdreher,
chair & ottoman are from Ikea....very comfortable...I recently changed seat cushion to a cloth material rather than leather.  Even more comfortable plus I get a little more absorption.

Where did you get your chair... and is it comfortable for long listening sessions?I'm currently using a large, overstuffed leather chair and ottoman, but it's not good for long listening sessions.

Sorry guys, just saw these posts....most are GIK products, just the side walls are 4' x 2' x 4" ATS absorption panels sitting on GIK 24" x 24" x 6" bass traps.  I have some very powerful mono's and subs in that small space so I needed some serious absorption / diffusion!

@honda those look like GIK Acoustics panels and diffusors.

Beautiful Setup

Outstanding selection of totl equipment. I imagine it really pressurizes your small listening space.
