used Integrated tube amp under $1500 for Klipsch Cornwall III's?
Decware would be an excellent choice! US made and lifetime warranty. More importantly sounds great

I have had a week to compare Tubadour III to my analog setup (herron audio vtph-2a, vpi traveler, dynavector 20x2L) and it has proved to be a worthy competitor. the vinyl is a little sweeter and slightly more articulate, but it is damn close! who ... 
Pondering a Speaker Upgrade

My Tubadour III was delivered today and I am very pleased. The vacuum tubes bring body and dimension to the digital music. Whisper quiet. Very musical and involving DAC 👍👍

Never heard the Aegir but the reviews are excellent and.... it will likely have great synergy with the Freya and Forte’s. The Schiit return policy is pretty solid. Rogue gear always sounds musical to my ears but it will cost more and you will want...

jtfc - how did you like the Sofia in the LTA MZ2? I use whatever 12sn7 (cause they are cheaper) Andy @ Vintage Tube Services sells me. I think they may be 1950's Sylvania and they sound really good. I really don't roll tubes cause of the bazillion... 
Should I add a Preamp to my system
I would certainly look at the Herron audio vtph-2a phono pre, which can be the cornerstone of any analog front-end. It’s remarkable. I heard the Brooklyn at RMAF - not a good medium. I had a well regarded ss pre but prefer tubes. my inbound is a t...

I ordered it after conversing with Vlad. I wanted something on par with my analog front-end? Hopefully it ships today or tomorrow. I did not go for the upgraded version, easy enough o accomplish at a later date. I use Audirvana and have limited ex...
