Picking a Tube integrated amp
I have a Lyric KT150-based integrated in my smaller second system (Lux D05u with Von Schweikert UniField 3 MkII speakers) and cannot imagine be more satisfied with this set-up, very much worth your considering.

Once, years ago, a husband of one of my dear friends said I took moral stands on ridiculous issues.  Had to do with cheating on taxes.  Age shows.

Sound of the Luxman D-05u?  Well, it sounds warm, extended, full, huge soundstage, deep too, balanced top to bottom, like the music I ask it to play for me, its varied depending on the quality of the disc I load, but its always always musical and ...

I would love to have the opportunity to purchase tickets for this show.  Many are envious of your good luck.  No one is ever forced to pay to see a show, its always voluntary.

Without checking, mine are Dylan, Merle Haggard, Beatles.  Probably one or two others in there.  Might be Judy Collins too.   
What is your favorite holiday song?
Also, add No Place Like Home For The Holidays, by Karen Carpenter.  And Christmas In Prison, John Prime.  Oh, one more, Holly Jolly Christmas, Burl Ives.  Love that voice.   
What is your favorite holiday song?

CLASSE - Great amps or highly flawed?
I had a pair of DR8 amps and a DR5 Pre-amp I bought from Lyric way back, recently gave them to a friend since I was not using them, he drives Maggie 3.? speakers with them, and he and I marveled at the beauty in the sound.   
Willie Nelson - a couple of questions please
Yes, I strongly second Spirit, a great great record.
