My vote would be for Mini Me. Luxman tube gear is very good but the solid state gets the most press. I have the CL38U SE and it is a fantastic preamp. Art Dudley compared it favorably to his Shindo. Both the preamp and the matching MQ-88 amp both rank as Class A components in Stereophile. My dealer had both these units plus the Luxman PD171-A TT to the Klipsch La Scalla's. Great setup. I'll be curious how this integrated shapes up.
