McIntosh C100, Ayre K1 or Mark Levinson 380/380S?

Many thanks for all your responses. I am still researching and hunting! I think that the Ayre K1 (x or xe) would be my ideal, but I am also being seduced by the McIntosh C2200 (tube), the Hovland HP-100 (tube) and the Sony TAE1 (!). Any comments, views or suggestions? Thanks

Many thanks all for your thoughts and comments. I did eventually make a decision and, for better or worse, managed to get a very good deal on a McIntosh C200. So far I am pleased with my choice and it has certainly got me raiding my CD collection again!
Best regards
