World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above?
The one Preamp that would be a serious challenge to the Takumi K-10 is the Balabo BC-1 MKII. These two Preamps are at the top of the mountain and putting them head to head would be one helluva contest. It would probably be to close to call.

I'm getting the new Concert series from JAMO. Klipsch informed me last week the new Concert speaker line is just weeks away from being released. A whole new more modern look similar to the Studio series but more attractive.

Pre-Amp for Class D Amp
Class D amps are not nearly as sterile and cold sounding as they were back in 2005. Those days are gone with the recent major advancements in Class D technology. So its absurd that Class D works best nowadays with tube Preamps. Redundant.You don't...
