Other changes to come:

- looking for Amperex 0A2 with mesh plates
- will rewire MM input in silver with silver WBT RCA's - it now welcomes my top cart, Decca London Reference with silver AQ Leopard phonocable (will post on that in a separate thread)
- considering another red tip 12AX7 for the output but given the change was not big at the input it's more of an itch...a costly one at $275

I've finally got some mesh plate 0A2 made by Valvo. Well, I didn't notice any difference compared to my previous Sylvania's so far. Perhaps...PERHAPS..a tiny bit more dynamical contrast but my aural memory too short to eventually spot such tiny changes. Also while A/B listening the Valvos were not warmed up.
