Integrated for Cornwall IV
Couple of pre owned Cary SLI80 and 300b integrated on AG and USAM. I’ve got an SLI80HS on my Volti and it’s a beautiful match. Also like the on the fly switch from Triode to UL whenever I’m inclined. My music tastes are right in line with OP. I al... 
Your thoughts on best audiophile speakers in $10,000 neighborhood?
@mbmi  While my Volti are my choice, they do everything I want in a loudspeaker and more, I too was impressed with the Borresen's i listened to. Both the x3 and x1 monitors were clean, powerful and musical. They threw a wide and deep soundstage. I...

@kennyc  +1. You read my mind.   
Starting a second system, need efficient speaker suggestions.
@traudio if you are within a day drive of him I’d highly recommend making a visit. He’s a really good guy, fun to hang around with and shoot the crap. Great Mexican joint literally across the street too. I met up with him couple of months ago at t...

OP, the pair of Razz @mapman found for sale on The Music Room's site  look great !  Priced right I'd say, may even be able to bring them down a bit.

Cary SLI80HS paired with Volti Razz at home for me. Awesome combination in my book. When I picked up my Razz from Greg at Volti he threw his Cary on my Razz as well as a pair of Rival and his new Vittora prototype. IT was a pretty fun experience. ... 
T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp
@blisshifi  I would tend to agree with you comparing the two. I felt the AP20 and Wilson combo to be a bit of a truth teller. Very clear dynamic and detailed (some heat from the highs and lows as you describe), a little dry for my taste. The T+A s... 
T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp
At the show probably the closest and similar priced unit would be Aurender AP20 streaming some good music. It was also a simple set up with just the AP20 and a pair of Wilson Sabrina's. These two rooms were perhaps the easiest listening rooms I en... 
T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp
I listened to this unit at the Florida show couple months ago and it was very impressive. the r2500r unit was powering the T+A 420 speakers, streaming and a VPI TT with that DS optical cartridge and dedicated phono pre. Open and airy, powerful pre... 
Looking for... Integrated tube amp with phono
Couldn't agree with you more @ericgale   
Looking for... Integrated tube amp with phono
Please don't get me wrong, I do agree that Rogue is not in the same league as CJ, VAC, BAT, Mac, Lux and even Cary. I believe Rogue fits into a close proximity sonically, and meets a mid fi need for lower cost/high value. All the way around my Car...

@ron325 i owned a Rogue Atlas 3 a couple years ago. That was a damn good amp. Well made, authoritative and musical sounding, built like a tank. I like Rogue as a company, they were always responsive when I had a question. Hard to go wrong there.  
Looking for... Integrated tube amp with phono
@ron325  Honestly that's a tough one. I have listened and sold some CJ gear when I worked in the hifi store. One of my favorites was the CJ MF200, that was a great amp for sure. I have never heard the 60, though I have read it's really good as mos... 
Looking for 50-100 watts of Tube Power (give or take) for my JBL 4349s
Just my two bits. There's been several really great suggestions already. I would like to pitch Cary products. I used to sell them in the 90's and always wanted an SLI 80 ever since I first set one up and played hundred of hours of musical enjoymen... 
Looking for... Integrated tube amp with phono
Full disclosure, I am going to recommend taking a look at a Margules ACRH3, that is for sale currently, on The Music Room's site, yes it is mine. It may have what you are looking for. I found it to have plenty of power 100wpc, an excellent phono s...
