I’ve owned too many p-stages to count, and I think my Audio Research REF 3 blows away anything else I’ve heard. Tubey in a good way: involving, high def, dimensional, but surprisingly authoritative. Injects life into the sound. Like a Chinook tonally, but with bass and jump factor. I paid $10k for a demo model. No affiliation.
