Mine have just hit around 100 hours and really opened up, the change was quite significant, had to lower the volume on the amp. My first time with a tube amp so wasn’t expecting such a significant improvement.

Auditioned Devore Gibbon X and 96 today, from this short comparison, I prefer Gibbon X’s sound, maybe because I am very used to 3XL’s characters and X is extension of 3XL with a lot of details, fully bodied, well layered presentation. It makes music “live”, closer to the real performance in front of you. I also noticed 96’s sound has something that gets to me and I can live with it for long long time. I was surprised that 96 appears to be more neutral than X, X has some energy and flavor differ from 96. I was told there are three new DeVore speakers under development, including the one to fill the gap left by Gibbon 3XL. If I were to upgrade I may choose X.

Devore are special.
I listened to the extreme series in Munich and its sub-series in Istanbul and Berlin.
There are Mbl and others
I am not certain I understand your statement. Respectfully.
Mbl is better than others.

I heard them at shows only and still have to experience this…but I want to. I may have some time in the next weeks to look for a dealer to check.
Okay, that is what I thought you meant.
MBL is as good as it gets. I won’t argue.

Sorry, forgot to say “my opinion”.
It’s not debatable anyway, arguing would be like saying red is better than blue.
We have a saying.

I can’t fault your beliefs based on my experience listening to MBL Reference gear.
I agree with you.

MBL is definitely in the absolute top level and I have had the pleasure to hear full set with four 9011 amps and all the other MBL gear too.The whole Reference set was wired with Wireworld Eclipse 6 series,as are MBL internally too so there was cable synergy. It would be nice to hear what difference cheapish Stealth cables would bring to table 
It is very hard to come back home after such experience and push play…

I believe that MBL cable is all Wire World including power cables.

Was your buying experience satisfactory? lol
All kidding aside, I am envious.
The dragon has exceeded my expectations! IMO it is a component level upgrade is the system is up to the task!

The higher the resolution of your system and the better the recording you use, the more this cable will shine. The purity of the highs is a real standout on the Dragon. And the tight powerful bass and so much presence in the midrange other cables just doesn’t match.

What HDMI cable did your Dragon replace ?
Are you using your Dragon to connect a transport to a dac ?
Thanks,
