Biomimetic: If you are used to solid state and are curious you really do need to do yourself a gear favor and get up close and personal with an all tube based system for awhile. I was a complete solid state fanatic and for years vowed I would nenver go near that archaic technology, but now I am converted. Over the past two years I have assembled a second all tube based system around a CJ integreated, their CDP, a tube phono stage, and modest speakers and TT. I now listen to this system 90% of the time simply becuase I can listen to it at any level and I ALWAYS get pulled into the music without even trying. In fact I am listnieng to it as I write and am constantly distracted because this system, the total of which goes for about $5K, sounds so damn good. So mark me converted. Don't go partial on this, go whole hog and be happy.
