Audio stores... | |

| Pass Labs INT-25 Integrated amp paired with Harbeth 30.2 XD speakers Far from an ideal power/performance match, not advisable. I also like the Harbeth + Hegel sonic synergy | |
| Need Amp or next component upgrade advice Maybe a Wired 4 Sound mINT integrated here Agree that the ATC needs more power than the typical tube amp can provide. So if want tube amplification, should change to a more efficient speakers | |

| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? I’ve been circling around this thread because I’m in the same boat. To reduce noise I got a VDH current phono stage, but I also have Koetsu stone and Ortofon SPU carts which reportedly work well with SUTs. This would require purchasing budget ch... |
