I keep trying to downgrade, without success. My previous high end system ends up trashing the "downgraded" system. Recently I tried a $3000 Stereophile class A integrated, and it sounded very grainy, lacking in presence, compared to my current system (CJ 17LS, CJ Premier 12's).
On a lark I just ordered an LSD Mistral LE integrated. At the least it should prove to be a nice solid state backup to my relatively finicky tube system. By the reviews though it might just fulfill my dream of downgrading - it's allegedly SET-like in it's liquidity. We shall see. I'm trying to not get my hopes up....
