I mate it with a Luxman 509U integrated. Main reason? Well, the pre has tone controls! That's right, tone controls! I often use the treble one to ever so slightly turn down the brightness on many older CDs, and its magical! May be "high-end heresy...

Your last concert was to see who and when?
Halloween went to Steve Forbert. Soon is Dylan a few nights in Philly (recently saw him in Seattle too). A highlight of my concert "career", or whatever. Literally been to his shows dozens of times, and these are at or near the top. My 25 yo son w...

I have it, first listen left me wanting, so I put it on repeat for an entire day (just love that digital music!) and now really like it. Give it a try, and if like me, give it a second and third one too.
