Which integrated amp would you pick?
I don't know which Musical Fidelity you are speaking of. There is an M6500i and a M6si. Perhaps there was an M6 before this???I have heard the M6500i. It is a dual mono design and it sounds truly amazing for an integrated amp. It will sound better... 
"Good tube Integrated Amps"
Line Magnetic Audio 218ia SET amp. Very nice sound. I have the 216ia and had the 218ia for a short time. It was very sweet sounding. 
There goes Tidal?

There goes Tidal?
Well they could buy it and ruin it like they did with Beats. Or like Beats did when they bought MOG. MOG was actually good and I think Tidal has gotten better.... but not if Apple gets it.BTW Beats co-owner (Dr Dre) stole many of the ideas for his... 
Integrated for Vandersteen 2ce sigII
I have used a 32 watt integrated tube amp and a 400 watt ss amp, both sound fine. I think the more power with quality electronics the better they will sound. Also the quality of the source will be important too. 
Newbie With Magnepan 1.7is
This has been argued before, rehashed many times about the power-current needed for good sound from the maggies.I have the mmgs and have powered them with an integrated tube amp at about 32wpc and alternatively the Parasound A21, which is a ss amp...

Best dac for Line magnetic 219ia and Golderear Triton 1 speakers
I have a Schiit Bifrost Uber, but the popular upated version is the multibit. Very musical for the money. I like it every bit as much as my Benchmark that I paid 3x more money to get. 
Sanders magtech or odyssey kismet
I've had no experience with Sanders, but I had Odyssey components. I did not care for the quality or the customer service at all.I like Parasound very much, I have an A21 but two JC mono amps would be keepers for sure. My two cents... 
Vandersteen 2xx - 100,000 units?
My equipment is much like OROS. I have the 2CE Sig II's. I use a Line Magnetic 216i integrated tube amp. I have also used a Parasound A21 with these speakers. Both sound fine with Vandersteen.My short story....Once I left the military I had decide... 
Old Classic Receivers: A Mistake to Buy?
Marantz 2230. I had a 2235 and sold it to a co-worker. Loved them both. Would like to get a 2270 Champagne finish.... 
Odyssey Audio Stratos v. Musical Fidelity A3cr:
I have had an Odyssey Stratos amp, Tempest pre and Candela pre. Never owned the MF, but did hear an integrated from MF. I hated the Odyssey, too much hum and spurious low level noise. Plus customer service was dreadful, since he has very little he... 
Audio Forums, On-line Store Fronts, and the Art-of-Deception
I had a bad experience with a very small audio boutique company. I trusted forum reviews, a few magazine reviews and thought? this company was a great small audio outfit. After many many months of trying to get three pieces of equipment fixed whic... 
Need feedback on loudspeakers
The Magnepan 3.7i is very good. I bet the combo of an A21 and the 1.7i would sound sweet indeed. I have the MMG's and have heard the 3.7. I was astonished by the sound from a good amp.
