Sounds like a great amp! I haven't seen it yet on their website, but I am concerned by the low input impedances into the balanced inputs of their other amps. Some of them are only 1K ohms into a balanced input, but 50K into the RCA inputs. I don't...

I am using a Kiseki Purple Heart N.S. which has a .5mv output. The Adagio has plenty of gain for that cart.

Thanks Rob, I do like it a lot! The tubes substitutions are based on Scott's recommendations below: "In my own personal Adagio I use Sylvania 6267 for the two EF86 in the second stage (6267 was the US designation for the EF86). NOS 6267 are gettin...

I did them all at once, since I really didn't feel like doing one or 2 tubes at a time. I also opted for the upgraded transformers when I ordered the Adagio. Scott said that they improved the bass response among other things. Yeah, I will likely n...

Devore 0/93's or Super Nines. The LM amp is frequently used to demo those speakers at Devore dealerships, since Tone Imports the LM distributor among other brands, sells to those dealers. 
Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
The Devore Super Nines at 8.5"X13.75", seem like a small footprint to me and they are not as "rich" sounding as the 0 series speakers, or so I have heard.

Looking for speaker recommendations
Oops, the Devore Gibbon X's retail for over $15k, so you will never find a used pair even remotely close to your budget. Sorry.
