Thanks, @mresseguie . Nice group of goods! I imagine that's a really musical tuneship to travel on.
Daedalus look so very nice. The Muse Studio was on my short, short list along with Devore - the Super Nines came up first at a great price and I'm glad they did!
Having just learned of Don Sachs and SW1X, they're getting the once and twice over and appear very appealing.
I'm not unhappy with either my Cary 306/200 as a DAC or the VPI 299d, but am definitely on the upgrade path. After an off thread exchange with millercarbon, I'm inspired to be patient and maybe sit pat until I can make more of an end game move; save and wait on the true object of my desire - Leben CS600x.
BUT, of course and how things go, after that discussion, I'll be placing to call to Dave at Raven to discuss their elite series integrateds - The Raven integrated in particular. I think the 18wpc would be enough. John Devore thought the 15 offered by the Leben CS300 might leave me a little wanting depending on music and volume. A little more, a little better....and the 300b driven by octals, well, that looks an awful lot like my wheelhouse.
