I have had a few system tryouts and ended with the Primaluna Dialogue Premium with KT-88 and NOS Philips 12AU7 as pre matched with Rotel RCD-1072 driving the ProAc Tablette 2000 Signatures. For the money that I spent on this current system, I could not be happier. What I like of this system is the real natural sound with rich lush midrange and 3-D like soundstage.
