Talk about being in the right place at the right time. I was still bemoaning having to trade in my Shindo Aurieges-L as part of a major set of upgrades to my reference system when I happened upon a museum-quality 6LE/P for sale. And yes, I did pounce on it! I am still getting a handle on its sonic character, but at this point, I can say without hesitation that it is both excellent as a line stage and phono stage. I agree with Jmcgrogan2 - both the line stage and its phono section provide a wonderful balance of resolution and musicality. The overall sound is not quite solid state to my ears. There is almost a tube quality to what I am hearing thus far.
