Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?
@lula Nothing will or can beat a good/great tube amp. My main goal for finding the perfect (for me) solid state amp (SIT3 is my choice with Luxman 590 AXII a close second) is because I play my system 12-18 hours a day when on. Tubes would worry me...

@ag3__ I have not gone back to the F7 since the initial few days. We’ve had a storm pass through, no power for almost 3 days and with some frequent brown outs, have not had the stereo on much at all this past week.While I’ve initially loved and lo... 
All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only
If you are interested in getting Magnepan, consider a Hegel H390/590. Built in dac but don’t think it’s a streaming dac.

@ag3__ I’ve owned all those you’ve mentioned. My speakers are Avantgarde Duo XD so a more normal speaker might yield slightly different results.The Pass XA25 is a wonderful amp but very neutral to my ear. Power is easily double rated output. Power...

@douglas_schroeder Thank you for all your review hard work. Well done! 
Just received my new Luxman CL-1000 pre-amp.
It’s too bad that the CL-1000 has no remote control. That’s unfortunately a deal breaker for me. I understand why not but all I need/want is volume control. 
Anyone own the new conrad-johnson ART27A amplifier?
Thank you very very for your thoughts.The ART27A uses KT88 running in class A triode.I’m sure it’s wonderful.

My repair should be completed next week and shipped out. I’m waiting for the final update and bill. Fingers crossed. I miss that thing.

@insearchofprat bump for any updates on your Job piece. 
Any experience of Valvet Audio E2se amplifier?
@mrdecibel Your points are very valid. Ultimately, we have to listen and decide for ourselves.I listen at low to moderate volume and never felt a problem with my setup running the F7, SIT3, E2se, Misho Wooden amp, Luxman MQ-300, etc. on my Avantga... 
Any experience of Valvet Audio E2se amplifier?
I think the E2se might be a little more relaxed but not night and day difference. It’s funny, I’m really enjoying the F7 right now but think a few weeks of break in should be necessary. I will say that the F7 feels like it runs a heck of a lot hot... 
Any experience of Valvet Audio E2se amplifier?
I just received an F7 yesterday. It doesn’t have a lot of time on it yet. So far it sounds great. It probably has more in common sound-wise with the E2se than many other amps I’ve heard.I think vocals/midrange are a little more spotlighted with th... 
RME ADI-2 DAC FS is it "All That", especially for under $2,000?
@luisma31 Hi, I also have an Audio Mirror Tubador III SE that I love. The reason I bought the RME was because I wanted a solid state dac that I could leave on all the time.I’ve been burning in the RME ADI-2 for a few days. It’s neutral and clear a...
