I am glad I got the Luxman. It is a Class A amp that is very tube like. Great soundstage and detail. Plenty of features such as tone control, headphone amp and phono stages built in. Now I have a bunch of power cords and interconnects to sell!!

Well, I just couldn't get my arms around the CJ gear. In a completely different twist of events, I decided to go with the Luxman 590Ax Class A amp.

B&W's arrived last week and I have been breaking them in with the PrimaLuna. The Plinius Hautonga amp came in yesterday and it pairs perfectly with the 804 Diamonds! I got in about 6 hours of listening last night as was very impressed with it.... 
THIEL Audio their demise...
Sadly, the company is now run by investment bankers whose taste in music is limited in quality to that of an I-Pod. 
Getting the Upgrade Bug Again

"Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers
Try the Luxman Class A amps. The 550AX and 590AX are awesome sounding, tube like SS amps. Not sure what your music likes are but these may not be good for loud hard rock. The 550 goes for $4,900 US and the 590 jumps to around $9,000.Not sure where...
