I have owned the Absolare Integrated mentioned above for almost 2 years and with a the right set of NOS tubes to dial in the sound exactly to taste, it has been an end-of-the-line decision for me. (Their Echole cables offer some fantastic synergy as well.) I strongly recommend an audition. I came from top of the line Luxman separates (c+m900u) and the Absolare added incredible low-end foundation, along with the in-the-room instrument density, delicacy and presence of a 4W tube amp that I so coveted, without sacrificing any of the SS transparency and neutrality that I loved from the Luxman separates.
