My associated gear for the PA100/100 is a VAC Standard Pre LE w/MM phono. Got a Well Tempered Classic turntable and a Creek CD43 CDP. I wasn't sure what I thought early on, but it does seem to be improving. Better focus. I've probably got 40 to 50 hours on them so far. My speakers are Alon Model 1's and I'm currently speaker shopping. Been thinking about the Merlin VSM-M w/full BAM setup.
I've also heard Svetlana KT88 tubes were nice with the PA100. I'm probably going to try some NOS tubes in my pre first and then work on new ones for the PA100.
