New MH PH25.2 Headphone Amp as tube buffer?
I saw some info here on a tube buffer stage Gary Dodd is making now. Perhaps looking into it might solve your situation. he is also proposing a HP amp as well. The Dodd audio web site should inform you more. Both items run around a grand a piece, ...

Denon or Marantz? Home theater beginner.
Features and power are the normal added attractions as you move up in the line....and six months from now or less... there'll be another model taking the place of the one you buy now with still mo' stuff on or in it.... or so say the manufacturers...

Agreed. Nor do I want to bash anyone here either... but it sure doesn't seem like something one would usually hear of especially given the selling price, build, performance and so forth. I know I'd not want to have to go back and repair all my uni...

I need your advice on system for a non-audiophile
Personally, if she already has a receiver but doesn't care for it any more, I'd think she might want to stick to that sort of thing.They do afford one a lot of flexibility.I'd say go with an Oppo player like a 980 so she can play any disc she wish...

$12K speakers aren't the whole story here though... what was pushing them $50K? $10K? 
What’s next up on the docket for you?
TvadCongrats15wpc! that's a good bit for a 2a3 mono amp isn't it? Hope it all brings you the reproduction you seek.
