Audiogon, please keep this site free of political banter!  
Coda 11, Schiit Tyr, JC5 or ???
McIntosh MC 352. Not sure about the synergy with the AI preamp but a plethora of used MAC preamps out there. Another bonus is resale value/repairability and many potential buyers when(if) ready to sell.

Hegel H120 or H190

Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing?
"Margaritaville"-Jimmy Buffett "Georgia In A Jug"-Johnny Paycheck Although "Margaritaville" is mainstream it is still a great song. Paycheck is an "Outlaw Country" favorite of mine and "Georgia In A Jug" is top shelf(pun intended)!  
Hegel H120 or H190

MC cartridge for Clearaudio Concept 1600$
I had a Goldring Legacy(MC) on a Rega P9/RB 1000 for 5 years. I estimate over 1300 hours on it before the cantilever started to shift. The Ethos/SE is the current replacement for the Legacy. The strength of the Legacy was the Bass and Prat while b...
