| Cary Audio Design CAD-120s mkII or Music Reference RM-9 MkII? Haven't tried the Cary, but love my RM9 mill with el34's. A great value and excellent sound quality. | |

| Jeff Rowland to what? If you haven't tried a good tube amp, do yourself a favor and change course. VAC Phi 200 monoblocks can be had used for around $10 to $11K. Also available now is a VAC Phi 300.1 for $8,900. | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 If you are going to be rolling 300B's, I have a pair of KR 300B's I was going to list and I have a pair of Black Treasure's currently listed. Good way to experiment with premium used tubes without breaking the bank. Let me know if you are inter... | |
| Vac 200 IQ vs Ayon orthosII The VAC Phi 200 had the best bass and ability to handle dynamic swings better than any tube amp I've previously owned. They can be had for around $5K or less and are a tremendous value. | |
| Power tubes for the VAC 300.1 I preferred the sound of the Shuguang KT88SC to Gold Lions in my Phi 200, but they were not as dependable as the GL's. Not horrible reliability by any means, you just had to have a spare or two handy just in case. | |
| Dearly departed Music Reference RM9 Roger (Music Reference) just repaired, refurbished and re-tubed my RM9 and it sounds great. | |
| VAC 30/70...pick your pre? I recently purchased a pair of 30/70's and have it paired with an Aesthetix Calypso Signature. Over the last 9 years or so, I've used either the standard Calypso or my current Calypso Signature with four different VAC amps: 30/30, 70/70 Signatu... | |

| Harbeth Love and your experiences I'm on my second pair of 40.1's and had an 18 month stint with SHL5's. While I like the SHL5, the 40.1's are special and I have no plans to try anything else. | |
| Help choosing integrated Ditto Waltersalas recommendation on a quality tube integrated (Leben, VAC and Line Magnetic are good choices). If tubes aren't an option, I'd be looking at class A solid state amps from Accuphase and Luxman. The Gryphon is also a great option, b... | |
| from Harbeth 30.1 to SHL5+, an upgrade or lateral move? Unless you are ready to step up to 40.1's, I'd keep the 30.1's and get a decent subwoofer, as that will get you closer to the 40.1 sound than buying SHL5+. I've owned the SHL5's (non + version), and am now on my second pair of 40.1's, which I lov... | |
