@soix I'm currently using the V70 Class A (KT150) with the Super Black Box & Telefunken driver tubes. It's very revealing with speed & impact, plenty of midrange punch. I'm a musician so another way I would describe it is very much like an excellent tube guitar amp!
I'll be sad to see it go but as I mentioned personal circumstances are a factor.
I've previously owned the HP700 pre & the V110SE. Years ago I was in a position to purchase the MRE 220 but I hesitated & life moved on. I wish I had as they're way more expensive now.
Prior to the V70 Class A purchase I considered the V80SE but really wanted full class A (V80SE is A/B) & at the time found auto bias appealing.
If you need any more info just message.
@stringreen yes you're right, it's a very depressing!
Don't know much about Line Magnetic apart from the name. The Belles Aria Signature seems to be a contender.
