Had a Marantz 1250 integrated for a bit to match up with the
120 Tuner. Then I got a Phase Linear 700, so I used the
preamp side of the 1250 with it. Was nice. Then I wondered
what another preamp would sound like, so I got a Classe DR-5
to go with the Phase Linear. BIG difference! So then I
thought that a better amp would sound great with the Classe,
so I got a Pass Labs X250. BIGGER WOW! So then I had to get
better speakers.... You get the idea.
I still use a Marantz 2252 receiver in the basement with a
Denon cdp, and various speakers, like JBL L-166's, large
Advents, old Wharfedales, Cerwin Vega's, etc. I enjoy it a
lot!
