hi romy,

i have never heard the rel.  but, if you want to hear a tubed tuna at its best, pick up a sherwood s3000ll or later, get it serviced, and run it thru one of your mpx decoders.  or get one w/a built-in sherwood mpx.  this is tube sound as good as you are going to get, imo.  it should rival your tu-x1 for sound, tho it will not be as sensitive.  i have a couple different sherwoods - s3000lll mono, s2100-ll stereo, (both never serviced), and a refurb's s3000v stereo.  the sound of these, (the mono iteration being run thru a studio-12 decoder), all rival my refurb'd modded tu-x1 for sound.  don't let the low price fool you.  they were all better sounding than the modded-to-the-gills mac mr65b i used to own.

best,

doug s.

(ps - why selling that to-die-for r&s decoder?)
