Having achieved nirvana* with the Sziklai CFP hybrid, I'm returning to the crux of it all, 'the music'. ( 12AU7 - 6SN7 board layout in the workings )
The schematic and test results are here spread out here due to not having a hybrid sub-topic.

My library was all mp3 320kbit comprising around 20,000 tracks.

Hearing the difference between uncompressed and MP3 by using the hybrid valve/TPA311x have started re-ripping it all before the CDs begin to separate.

I can now focus on speakers, headphones and LPs too.

Here is interesting hi-end site. LINK: Mono and Stereo High-End Audio Magazine

This is an excellent development. There is not reason not to do your rips in a lossless format, like FLAC.

FWIW, 320Kbit does not sound bad at all. Most people can't tell it from uncompressed, unless you tell them it is. ;)
