No claim that this is best (or that identifying "best" is even possible) but am running a 6H30, EZ80-rectified tube pre-amp (Consonance Reference 50) into a Merrill Audio Taranis power amp. "Musical and powerful" are good adjectives for the sound from the Totem Forest speakers being driven. fwiw - cabling is mostly Morrow Audio ICs with Clear Day double shotgun speaker cables; a mix of Cullen (amp) Shunyata (pre-amp) & Pangea (sources) power cords.
