+1 regarding the vote for the Lyric Audio Ti140 Mk2.

Recent additions of a new power conditioner and speaker cabling elevated my system performance, with the Lyric Audio in it, to something remarkably special. ’Magical’ as @nitewulf puts it.

Lyric Audio also has the new Ti200 available. It offers EL34, KT88, KT120, KT150 (and variants) in Class A Ultralinear Parallel SE topology.

it's all good to excellent stuff and not exhaustive... I second the suggestion to add the ASR! I would put the McIntosh at the bottom of the list without any doubt, and the Audionet, Gryphon, Pass, CH, Soulution, Boulder, Dartzeel at the top, and the rest in between. Where does that bring us all, well it brings us all to like my taste..hahaha!!!!

I am really, really curious about the Gryphon...if anyone in NYC has one and would allow me to have a listen, that'd be fantastic.
