Shanling T100 Tubes

I don't know about the WE396A tube change firsthand. I had the WE396A tubes from the outset, but others report an improvement over the stock tubes. Also, you'll notice a subtle difference between the tube and solid state outputs once the tubes have burned in for about 200 hours... mostly in a mellower midrange. I left mine on 24/7 for two weeks straight before I noticed a difference, and I still find myself alternating between the two outputs. Makes it fun to have the choice.

I just got mine a couple of days ago and I had it modified through the Parts Connection. They replace the tubes so I can't help you there. I was a bit dissapointed that you can't toggle between the two outputs without unhooking everything. For some reason I was thinking I would be able to hook up two pairs of interconnects and toggle between the tube and solid state outputs. I've only tried the tube so far.
I've got the 200, it takes a few seconds to read the disc then stops, and then you press play. Does the 100 work this way also? I'm not known for my patience.

Rpadula, I have the T200 as well. I switch between the solid state and digital outputs using my Bryston BP25 pre-amp. I have the solid state outputs running to my "CD" input, and the tube outputs running to my "AUX" input. They are adjacent on the BP25 selector knob, so I can indeed "toggle" between the two different outputs.
