cottguy Have you given any consideration to a top flight integrated amp? One chassis rather than two and you eliminate a pair of interconnects. Lots of good vibes on this forum for the Rogue Audio Pharaoh integrated amp. It has 12AU7 tubes in the preamp stage and a class D solid state output. It also has an integrated adjustable phono stage. I have never had the privilege of hearing it, but if I was looking to put together a new system I really would consider it! It should mate up well with the Vandy 2CE Sigs. There are reviews online that should give you a decent sense of it. Just a thought. I really love the system I have spent all these years assembling, but were I to do it all over again, I would go with an excellent integrated at the heart of my system.
