Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5?

I hope you don't sell that beautiful Leben only to find your DAC was the limiting factor.  If possible, explore/experiment with other DAC's before switching amps.

@pdreher 

I'd second that.

Well, you guys are heaping onto my seller's remorse! I sold it to a very good home and we're both happy with it. The Leben is a beautiful piece and I may regret it down the line, but am excited for new possibilities. Maybe an Accuphase integrated!

Ok, confession time. I don't really miss the Leben! It's a beautiful thing, lovely to behold and I have a deep appreciation for it. In the end, though, I think I'm not a tube amp enthusiast - a tube preamp with ss amp is my wheelhouse. So, there it is - truth will set me free! Or, as George Clinton said back in the day in the classic Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts (funk philosophy 400 level listening): Free your mind and your ass will follow. Play on, children!

ALL of that said, maybe I should have given the Tannoy more that 150-200 hours? They sure do take their time....
