Yea, at the time it was strictly RCA. Haven't tried the thing out for near on seven years, but it would be nice to dial in whether there is actually anything wrong with it (so that, someday, it can come back out of its box, if not in my home, someone else's.)
Since things have changed, the set-up that put on the show was: Meridian 508 - Rogue 99 Magnum -- Bryston 4b-st -- Thiel 2.3. Interconnects all RCA, then I think Homegrown Super Silver. All run through a Richard Grey power block.
End of the day, this sort of shenanigains is what ultimately drove me to cut the cord on tubes entirely. Just too many unanswered questions. Whether that was the culprit or no, went all SS (all balanced), never had another problem, and haven't looked back. In a game where second-guessing things all-too-insideously leads to the upgrade virus, tubes just seemed constantly to require entirely too much second guessing.
