Thanks for all the responses, lots to take in and research, I truly appreciate everyone’s help!
+1 on the LM508. The Raven Blackhawk provided excellent sounding vocals and is a good selection at a lower price point for efficient speakers. The LM508 accuracy, soundstaging and fast deep bass sounds wonderful driving Tekton DI’s. I added an ifi iGalvanic 3.0 and virtually eliminated all the hum and pops. Detail recovery and decay is off the charts.

A higher power integrated from Raven would be worth a spin. Dave is a pleasure to deal with.
I have forty years of experince with high fidelity an I love classical and jazz music. After all these years of listening I have only one choice: Prima luna, the best value for money. Enjoy
Anyone hear the F35 from Black Ice Audio, Jolida Company. With how attractive it is it must sound good. 🤪
After being punished with digital amp scratch I’m getting back into a sub 3k tube amp too! How do the new integrated tube amps compare to the old legends like CJ and VAC Avatar? I can’t see spending 3k on something that will inevitably need 1k worth of work and protection from UPS warehouse lawn dart games. Wanting advice soon so I can play some tunes for Mrs. Claus while I unleash the black mamba I have for her.
