Hey Juan, how's it sound with OD3? I tried it with OC3 and it was too "bass shy" for me. I'm really tempted to take them apart and roll an OC2 tube . . . but I've resisted the urge so far. The Type 80 tubes are nice in these amps, one day I'll try a pair of "globe" type 80s.

With less than an hour on them, 0D3 seems to make the bass hit harder, which is surprising. No other changes were made except putting in the 0D3. I was tempted to try the 0D3 from rereading this thread.

I thought about rolling the 0C2, but I do not want to open my amps. I did get a spare set in case they stop working.

Thanks. I may try them out. I have two pair of Tesla equivalents of OA2 that I adore in my Toriis, so I will eventually try them in the Monoblocks.

I've just put in a pair of RCA OD3 in the 25th Anniversary Monoblocks. Interestingly much better bass than the OC3, and I would have thought the opposite. Letting them warm up with some trippy Science Fiction from the DVR (The Expanse) which is sounding very nice, immersive and a bit mellower seeming so far. . . .

Thanks for bringing up your using the OD3 and keying me to look back to the early posts of the thread. These amps just keep on giving sonic steps!
