Ideas for separates around $1500???

Hi all,

Sorry for the slightly confused post...

Trying to get a new amp for our living room and our current piece is just not working out ( Exposure 2010S -- too much RFI around our house -- just listed it here on Audiogon).

If I go integrated, we am interested in trying the Naim Nait 5i, but after reading this months TAS, I am intrigued by their match-up of the Odyssey Khartago and the Vincent SA-31. Combined, these are around the same price as the Nait, and will give me a touch of tubes, which I like, without the heat of the a full tube amplifier (infants and lots of exposed tubes didn't agree with each other)

What does the collective think? Any other ideas?

Have you looked into these:

do a search on Audio Asylum, if you're handy with a soldering iron you can make your own. Or 30 day home trial for $109.

or

ERS cloth from musicdirect.

The ET product I have. It definitely brought out the highs. Wasn't a night and day difference in my system, but I'm not going to return them.

The ERS cloth just across my DAC helped. I haven't had a chance to put it inside the component like you're suppose to. Just fooling around, but it did make a difference.

Although my girlfriend said she did like the change... it was too sparkly she said... I think she was just in a mood and being a contrarian.
