On the hunt for a non-tube preamp (or hybrid), long post...
Thanks Auroravengeance, I was looking at a SPL S1200 earlier. Question:  Son of Ampzilla II vs Bel Canto e.One REF600M?    
WiFi Streaming Versus An Ethernet Cable Connection
@mrskeptic seems like packets are only half the equation here.  
Gustard R26 on sale
@cfa88  what an incredibly silly comment.  
What's the best EL84 amp?
For me?  Dynaco/Dynakit ST-35  
Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum - Worth spending $700+ for Mk.III version?
I have a Mk III but I’ve never heard its predecessors. I mean, it sounds really good to me and I think it’s worth spending the extra money for the latest model.  
What DAC to buy?
You could try the Eversolo DMP-A6 which is a new streamer/dac that was recently released.  It's very popular and looks to be well made.  
What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today?
I recently tried the Orchard Audio Starkrimson Stereo 2.0 and I thought it was a fantastic amp.  It drove my Magnepan LRS+ very well.  I'm no expert at describing audio gear but the clarity, texture, mids and bass were well done.  
SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)?
Orchard Audio Starkrimson Stereo Ultra 2.0 It's very good.

@soix  Thanks for the suggestions, I hadn't considered the LTA preamps even though I've been itching to try one of those for a while too.  That's interesting that you can use the LTA MZ2 as a regular preamp as well.  Appreciate the comments.    
Magnapan LRS+ VS .7
@invalid  I’m not sure. Mine shipped from TMR so they may have some on hand stock.   
Magnapan LRS+ VS .7
I ordered my LRS+ last month through the music room and received them in about a week. Was fast.   
Rogue CM2
I have a Rogue CM3 with Magnepan LRS+.  Using an iFi Zen Stream and Chord Qutest DAC.  
Magnepan LRS+ which amps do you use ? * 100 watts or less **
I have the optional Magnepan stands with my LRS+ and they’re very nice. It’s a great speaker, running with my Rogue Cronus Magnum III.   
Magnepan LRS+ which amps do you use ? * 100 watts or less **
@fac I have enough box speakers.

I have a set that came in this week and I’m using a Rogue Cronus Magnum III. If I do go the way of non-tube, I’ll likely pick up a Son of Ampzilla II.
