Tube integrated amp less than 12" in depth?
Boa2, $1500-$2KTrelja - sell me your Jadis - I'd buy it in a heartbeat. 
Tube integrated amp less than 12" in depth?
You have all been incredibly helpful - so much so that I made your task tougher byu taking out the shelfr and replacing it with a 15 inch one!!! So now I have 15" to play with. So, keep them coming!I have a Jolida 502B at home - it's good but I wa...

The Audion is sold. There a few new ASL SETs - 15-22 WPC all with a small enough footprint, eg ASL Fox. Almarro got an OK review in EnjoytheMusic, but not a rave. Any comments? 
Tube integrated amp less than 12" in depth?
I listen exclusively to classical, but sometimes turn it up when everone has left:) generally low volumes, but detail and nuance are critical. The SET Almarro 318 is 18 watts. Enough? 
Tube integrated amp less than 12" in depth?
SETs seem to be the answer - the Almarro 318 may do the trick.Thanks for your help. 
Tube integrated amp less than 12" in depth?
Thanks, Boa2. Wonderful suggestion. How would 12W work on a speaker of 86 db sensitivity? The dimensions would work out great. I could replace the Proacs with Totem Sig 1s, that I have at home - 86 db and 4 ohms.Any experience with these amps with...

Any other suggestions? Jadis seems hard to find. Zip on A'gon.

Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Alex,So can you place this Audio Desk System in the 3910 with your other mods?Do you have more problems with Denon transports than other makes? 
Transport for Tri-Vista 21 DAC
I'm using a CAL Delta that I bought as a back-up while my usual transport is being repaired. I cant believe how good it is - at about $300 used! It's detailed, musical and certainly a revelation at its price point. 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Excellent question, Aldavis. I too, share your confusion, since my Atma-Sphere MP-1 adds similar musically pleasing "distortion" to my DCC2's output. I, too, await Aplhifi's response. I have an unlinked but important question to modders of Denon, ... 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Tbg, I mean no multichannel, and, having a preamp-amp system (Atma-Sphere) designed to run fully balanced, it seems anathema to me - maybe illogically, but intuitively -not to use this feature. So, are there still many units?Please name any other ... 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Can one of you gurus summarize for me, now, after all these record number of posts, a perceived qualitative alternative (at least "as good" whatever that means) to the EMM set-up that has:1) Fully balanced outputs2) Tubes3) Audio 2 Channel only4) ... 
Phenomenal Classical Recordings
If you're a Beethoven nut, as I am, you have to try 2 CDs: Both the Penguin Guide and Gramophone recommend them in their highest category for both recording and performance. They are just stunners:1. Beethoven's 5th and 7th Symphonies - Carlos Kle...
