Hello all,

I tried two HRDLs today and to me the chrome-face one sounded better than the newer black-face one. The chrome one just had fantastic harmonics.

The newer one appeard to have a much slower/softer attack and overall, and, as indicated above, I preferred the tones of the chrome one by quite a margin.

Could this be down to speaker break-in and potentially tube differences? Or, are there other differences between these?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

There are some circuit changes and a different speaker on the newer HRDlx III version!
