My experience with the HTA-1 differs a little from yours.

I found changing the tubes from the supplied J&Js to a pair of NOS RFTs made a pretty significant difference when using the Audio Technica ATH AD700. With either set of tubes I never found the sound hard and while the treble is extended, it is smooth. But with the J&Js the mids were recessed and the bass was light.

I've got a set of the Denon D2000s on the way and look forward to hearing how they work with the Fournier.

I agree about the tube sockets, you really need to be careful when aligning the pins.

Thanks for the mod tip. I might try that. If you were using the pictured input cable (as supplied by Fournier), I suggest changing it ...its pretty low quality.

I wonder if the lack of glare with mine is due to using an analog source and running it through a preamp and then to the HTA-1?

Great photography by the way !

Dean.
