@slaw .

Its just one amp right now,slip of the tongue.
However even though it is SS it definitely sounds a lot nicer after 30 to 60 minutes of warm up or playing time.

Ayre ax7e for now. Hopefully done with the pre/power amp rat race for a while.
This integrated does everything I need so far.
I feed it my phono in one set of XLR.the Brooklyn DAC into second set of Xlr, Nakamichi tape deck into rca input and old Pioneer SACD player into,last set of the inputs.
Fortunately my phono has 2 separate inputs so both TT go direct to that.
@uberwaltz,

You're lucky... my highly modded McCormack needs around 6 hours of warm up to begin serious listening. Pat @ SMC Audio says the Plitron transformer needs 24 hours before it is at optimum operating temp at it's core.

Let's see, oh, the music....
Regarding the latest Roger Waters lp. It seems to borrow quite a bit on The Wall. Ultimate dynamics aren’t there because of compression. Still, it’s nice to hear him, IMO. Then comes side 3, it becomes something a little new and different. More plays are in order. A final determination will have to be forthcoming.
Weather Report - "Heavy Weather"

Picked up a really clean used copy at my LRS today. It's great to hear "Birdland" on vinyl, the way it was meant to be heard. Fantastic!
