I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative?

@lalitk 

Thank you for the recommendation and I am excited to see you enjoyed our setup at RMAF.

@defiantboomerang:

For me the 845 tube is king.  I can say unabashedly that the MastersounD amplifiers are absolutely noise free.  Clients who come to listen actually point this out not only when no music is playing, but also comment on the black background that rivals high quality SS amps.  The secret to their amplifiers lies in the high quality transformers they design and build in-house.  The Compact 845 would be a good option and power all but truly demanding speakers.

The EAR912 and the Zesto Tessera are very versatile. Just added the Zesto line.

Buy what SOUNDS good to you. Then put it in a cabinet. Itlll look great!

I am a rather visual type. It it does not look good, I keep thinking about the looks and it completely spoils the experience. 

I own both the PL Dialogue Pre and the HP power amp. The sound is enjoyable for the price point. With all the comments about the LM 518 I really wonder now if I am missing something. Good thing with the PLs is the tube rolling options to fine tune.
