Avalon Opus with Marantz PM-11S2

Are these two a good match?
Brands like Accuphase ,Spectral and Pass Lab are to expensive for me at the moment.

What's your budget... and what's the size of your room?

It's a hybrid integrated that will allow you to tweak the sound to your liking with some tube rolling.... and they look great too. I've owned the Pathos TT and it was a nice sounding, well constructed piece.

Suggest you make another post as to whether or not other Audiogoners have found the Pathos integrateds to be reliable.
