Congrats Mgx1138:
I also own the LS25 (the MKI version with NOS tubes)
I think it is a very underrated performer. It simply gets out of the way and allows my system to make beautiful music.
The tonal balance (with NBS power cable) is on the "slightly warm" side of neutral without sounding "tubey"
I also am using the ARC PH2 (a great phono stage in my estimation) in an all balanced configuration (VT100 MKII amp.)
