I had a busy day today in school to do lots of work at Numerical Analysis. After school, I went home at about 7pm.
I got time to listen to the Pilot 240 with all the my 12ax7 tubes after dinner. I tried with all my precious tubes -- Amprerex, Mullard, and Telefunken. I was so surprised with the sound from 240. It sounds just so good that it is very close to the Pilot legend 232 combo. It is mellow, smooth, warm, good body, balance, detail and emotional. The 240 is outstanding. I just love it. I almost can see no difference with the 232. Of course the 232 looks better. Too bad, 240 is an integrated amp but it still has amazing sound. So after the listening test, I wrote a report of Pilot online group. I know that once this report out. The price of 240 may become double. Well, I don't mean my report has much impact. It is just because many people will get to know the rare Pilot sound.
I also got the chance to finish watching タイヨワのうた. This TV series is simply amazing and touching with very good moral behind. Thumbs up!
