Agree completely with the recommendation of a Simaudio integrated. I've owned three, along with three of their DACs and a CD player. Among the dozen or so amps I've owned over fifty years of listening the Simaudio gear really stands out for great sonics and exceptional build quality at a reasonable price.
Totem Rainmakers experts needed
So Im putting together a lil system for my sons graduation gift. Figured better than the clich'e watch. All used and this this is what Ive got so far. The nice stands from Atlantis they are Im sure every bit as good as the Totem ones and look identical. And just picked up a RELQ 201e for the foundation. I will let him figure out his front end. Below are my choices and if you recommend any of these I know there are several different versions of each Id like to stick with the lower price points but will step up to 1K if its the way to go. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and impressions.
