Class A or AB amp for JBL S4700 speakers
Ok, thanks, but I really want the features, and I can go beyond bang for the buck stuff (not cost no object though,) no problem. 
Class A or AB amp for JBL S4700 speakers
Ok, which tube preamp that has all of the features do you recommend. I know McIntosh solid state *and* tube do. Accuphase and Luxman solid state do too. 
Luxman PD-171 turntable
Ok, that's cool. Thanks again for the info! Is the SA-750 far superior? How much more is it with that arm? I would like to have it to, after hearing it this last summer! Best of luck on whatever you end up with! 
Class A or AB amp for JBL S4700 speakers
Ok, well .8 or .5? And which model? 100, 160? Also, I don't like Pass Labs preamps. Not enough features on there for me like bass, treble, sub. filter, mono switch, etc. Is there are preamp out there that has this stuff that would go good with the...

Luxman PD-171 turntable
Thanks for the info Fjn04. Yes, there is an armless version of the PD-171. And I finally heard it with the Luxman Class A integrated and Vivid speakers. This was at the 12th meeting of the Las Vegas Audio Club (lasvegasaudioclub.blogspot.com,) whi...

Class A or AB amp for JBL S4700 speakers
Ok Bo, that's fine. What would you recommend then? I know you like Pass Labs. Is there any other brand? 
Class A or AB amp for JBL S4700 speakers
Hi Bo, no not at the moment. I can go to CES and compare amps, but this in different rooms and different speakers of course...better than nothing though. Anyway, I'm leaning heavily towards Accuphase at the moment...
