SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)?
Orchard Audio Starkrimson Stereo Ultra 2.0 It's very good.  
On the hunt for a non-tube preamp (or hybrid), long post...
@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.

@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.   
Amplifier circuitry-4 ohm vs 8 ohm
Rogue Audio has told me in the past to try either 4 or 8 ohm and use whichever sounds best.   
Has anybody heard the Whammerdyne Circuit Salad recently?
@boxand1  Thanks!  I'm still very tempted to give one a try and echo certainly has a great deal on them.  
Picture worth a penny LOL!!!!
I left a hifi Facebook group because some guy kept posting vids of his feet “toe tapping” while in front of his system. So cringe and so gross.   
Taylor Swift Concert Prices
I like Taylor Swift, some of her music is really good and well recorded.  Just because she's popular doesn't mean she isn't talented.  
KT120 replacement options in a Cronus Magnum II
@decooney  The CM II or CM III are not low current amps. They come with KT120s but can run KT88s per Rogue.     
Chord Cutest or Wadia 321
I have a Qutest so I say Qutest.  Detail is great, solid amounts of low end and mids are fantastic.    
Building a synergistic system. What to buy?
You could always try something like an Omega speaker with a First Watt SIT3 or F7.  If you're smart with the buying process, you could get these and likely a preamp for less than 5k.
