If you like the tube sound, I'd suggest you try a used Jadis JPL. Forget the CD input with its additional tube and use the tape input for the best sound. Very dynamic (slightly better on macrodynamics than my JP80 was, though not microdynamics) and natural sounding. I went to my dealer years ago to replace my ARC SP-11 with an LS-2 line stage, heard the JPL and was smitten.
