| Music Hall CD25, Onix XCD-88, Rega Planet; Others? I have a Shanling S-100 Mk II and feel it is a good match with the Qinpu. | |
| rotel rb1090 or odyssey stratos mono extremes This is a no-brainer; the Odyssey Stratos Mono Exremes are far superior to the Rotel. The Rotel is not even in the same class. | |
