| Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC @lancelock What preamp and amp are you using? | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? Well, after running through this old thread, I again realize why I so miss AL. | |

I will call Black Ice, they are good people, once owned a Jolida Fusion preamp, a great product for the money.

| Looking for recommendations for integrated with a more “organic” sound. Though I did not see to respond to your original post. Thanks for getting back. Many do not. Given your desires and price range the Sudgen 21 suggestions seemed to me quite appropriate. You made a great purchase. | |
