Is the Leben CS600x unbeatable?

New Audio Frontiers Performance 2A3 MKII - WBF referral on great O/96 match

The Leben is very good. However the Accuphase and Sugden Class A were amazing too. I loved the Accuphase e-800 with all Devore’s including the baby’s. I also had some wiring issues and a channel outage on the Leben, whereas the Accuphase was bullet proof. 

For the O96, one of the best amps is the Komuro 300s. Amazing. Upgrading the tube in the Leben is also a good option. Airtight, Shindo, and Audio Note UK are all good options as well. 

Some of the above mentioned are kinda value brands... Leben is not. I'm w/ @markimiller on the AirTight, Shindo & Audio Note (I once had an older Meishu 300b & REALLY wish I never sold it) each brand being excellent electronics to pair with a  DeVore speaker system. I would also add Audiomat Opera & Solfege Reference integrated tube amps. Med power Chord SS amps pair well too. Just my opinion 

It seems the Devore O/96 has no “ideal” integrated, but a warm quality low powered integrated based on a user’s sonic preferences.
