IMHO the Lux pre is utterly transparent with excellent fine detail and fully extended on top and bottom. It’s also very smooth which doesn’t always go with ‘detail’. Very spacious sounding as well. I will say that although highly musical and sweet...

i have a C-900u preamp that I adore. It replaced and exceeded the following; latest dartzeel pre, ml 523 and jrdg corus. simply more refined and musical. joy to use as well. not at all dark and without coloration.i surprisingly liked the ml very m... 
Down to 2 speakers & I can't decide, ProAc D48R vs Spendor D9

DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$
i have a pair of yvette’s and am extraordinarily pleased. the soft dome tweeter is awesome. it may not be a technological wonder but it’s very smooth and soars all the way to the bat range effortlessly. i’ve had some very good speakers and see the...

personally i’d look hard at the krell amps. i imagine that you could find a Duo priced right then update to HD when you want. I think the Duo will greatly exceed the amps on your list except maybe the Pass which i’ve not heard. krell the company i... 
1st time AG'er. Cables ? ?
great purchase you made. my opinion after going through tons of high end cables; i have found audioquest perfect silver surface cables such as niagara to be smooth, detailed and extremely musical. they are discontinued but virtually indistinguisha...

Integrated Amps - Ayre vs Pass Labs
as mentioned above the new krell integrated amp looks like it warrants serious attention and it has a new aesthetic. believe you can buy w built in dac. fwiw their integrateds have always been well regarded 
Which one is the best INTEGRATED!!
Also also the new Krell integrated. I expect that it’s very good.  
Which one is the best INTEGRATED!!
Luxman and ML should definitely be considered w Dartzeel way up there. 
What is the best pre-amp for ARC Ref 75SE amp?
Luxman C-900u working great for me. Pre drives a sub which ARC preamp won’t with awesome build, features and above all sonics.
