| can anyone recommend tube amp for dartzeel preamp? I 2nd the McIntosh MC275. There's a MK V recently listed @ $2,800 that you could probably get for $2,600.

| Original Plinius Sa-100 series amps for Shahinians I owned an SA-102 for several years... no hum & no problems. | |
| Dynaudio C4 vs B&W 802D The C4 is an excellent speaker for Jazz and acoustic. I can't speak for the 802D's as I've not heard them. | |

| NOS Tubes In My Aesthetix Calypso Switched from Mullard CV4004's to smooth plate Telefunken 12AX7's bringing additional emphasis, smoothness and clarity to the mids & high's at the expense of sacrificing some bass response. Have been using white label Amperex/Phillips 6922 SQ'... | |
| Plinius 8200 vs. 9100 -Which one? Your AU-717 is a fine integrated. I don't think your system will get much of a lift by spending money on another integrated amp. I've owned the 8200 MKII... it's a good, warm sounding int. amp, but lacks transparency. Consider putting your money i... | |
| Plinius 8200 vs. 9100 -Which one? Probably not what you want to hear, but I suggest you stick with your vintage Sansui. | |
