Integrated for TAD ME1: Luxman, Accuphase or Soulnote?

It would be fun to hear all three together!

I recently picked up the Soulnote A2 for my weekend home.  I think it sounds smooth and sweet!  I also heard A2, A3 and Soulnote separates that all sounded great at CAF.  A2 seems like the value spot!  Have not heard the Accuphase.  I have heard the Luxman…

I think is the way to go:

Soulnote A-2

Phono E-2

DAC…

A full Soulnote system for my TAD’s!

Audition both SoulNote and Accuphase with TAD. My personal preference would be Accuphase for tube like warmth, tonality and non-fatigued sound. 

Next time I am in Denver I am going to audition the SoulNote line. I am introducing by their offering. Heart of hearts I am a tube guy though. 

I’m coming from Mastersound and Tubes, and acoustic plan, so yes, a little warm “fatty” sound is preferable, but founding myself lately enjoying airy and open sound.

TAD are almost revealing but non fatiguing, and an Accu can fit phono card inside, so less boxes&cables… hard decision!

Perhaps TAD need power, E-800 sounds good and for a Class A is quite powerful… decision, decisions!
