Amp for Merlin VSM


I know that the ARS_Sonum Filamonia has a special relationship with the Merlins. The ARS is a little beyond my wallet. I was wondering if anyone had a thought about the DK-VS1 signature mark III which is reachable on the used market.
I would be moving from a Jolida 502a

Manley Stingray, is also a good natch. I've owned such a combo, and it was divine. If you do a search, you'll find quite a lot of threads on that combo.
Interesting.
Bobby P did not like the idea of the Manley Stingray.
He greatly preferred the Cary SLI-80.
