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. I have one and it sounds great and I've had no problems, plus you have access to excellent McIntosh customer support if you ever need it. | |
Original Plinius Sa-100 series amps for Shahinians I owned an SA-102 for several years... no hum & no problems. | |

Pre-audition advice needed Based upon your amp selection and the speaker choices listed, I'd be looking at Merlin's and Devore. | |
Funny video about high end audio/WAF That was great! | |

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. | |
