Looking forward to the reviews. My biggest issue of external rectification was the umbilical cord with AC and DC running parallel over length. It seems that the benefits outdone the negatives in this instance.

I am still trying to fit a DynaGrid in my scheme. The Zrock 2 works well in loop C. I don't at this time think a Zrock 3 will be beneficial installed after the CSP2+. The power conditioning scheme in place and added sub gave loop B an edge that propels it past loop A. More time and listening will tell the tale. If this holds, placing the RtoR in a horizontal position raising it should give enough room for a DynaGrid underneath.

Hope your grief is quailed today Lon!

No doubt here Lon. I wanted the Zrock 3 for that very reason placing after the CSP2. Just running out of component real estate. Maybe later.

The fourth time out for delivery is the charm–about forty minutes ago a UPS truck pulled up, with both packages, the Dynagrid Jr. (rectifier replacement) in one, the tube and connecting cable in the other. I marveled at the beauty of the component and hooked it all up after it all warmed a bit (it is COLD out there).

I hear a bit more soundstage width, about the same depth, if not a bit more forward. And perhaps a bit more dynamic. Still early though. Definitely a change . . . . I may reverse the fuse direction tomorrow because it does have that “sound” when the fuse is in the direction I usually don’t prefer.

This is a BEAUTIFUL component. Glad I went with walnut for the base, and I’ve never had an 845 before and it’s HUGE tube, will serve as a night light for anyone afraid of things that go bump in the night.

This is going to be fun. My favorite rectifier in the amp is excellent to listen to, this Dynaglide Jr. is a new thing that is exciting to listen to tonight. . . .

Congrats, Lon! I’m looking forward to hearing your impressions as it breaks in.
