without the bass.. it would be a step down. bass is more than grunt... its the 3d meat that holds everything together... id rather sacrifice resolution for this anyday. my guess you would buy it and sell it

I don't think the hE1 would be a step up in any way from 33e + modded Dave + U22 or Abyss... no chance.

preach brother! My 23 is sitting unused for last few months... I should sell it. fwiw hearing that MU2 is not better than MU1 + MMT... from a dealer on YT... probably can't be trusted. Hans dropped the Mu1 Dave for MU2... and Modded Dave defo better than MMT.

interesting:

compelling:

Good comparison btw mu1 + MMT vs mu2. For all the Dave mu1 owners. Seeming compelling. https://www.hifi-advice.com/blog/review/digital-reviews/network-player-reviews/grimm-mu2/

Try the winoobo rectifier. Amazing.

For those of us 33 owners with a Dave. Hans talks about his swap out to the mu2.

ok ... again... how does the tm300b sound? what is special about it? what amp have you heard it in? how does an amp running the tm300b compare to the wa23 or wa33/wa33e?????

what amp runs the tm300b? what does it sound like? have you heard the w23 or w33?

explain. have you heard it? what's shocking about Stellaris? compare Stellaris to 23 or 33?

Very grimm POV

One of the best tube reviews i have seen with comparison. Redic to dismiss without even watching it.

NEW 23 REVIEW. Compares to 33 Standard. 33 Standard must be a diff amp than 33E.... I get more holo on 33E.. and all the tube wonderment he talks about from 23 but little more slam. Regardless 23 is a beauty... however if I was planning to keep Id rather get another tube VS keep these 2 as they...
