Hidden Gems in Pre-Owned Solid State Power Amplifiers?
 Harman/Kardon Citation 16. Effortless power. There are a few very affordable upgrades that be done to make them even better. Under a thousand bucks for a good one as well.  
Hey K.....tt, Do you even have speakers??
Apologies 
Tube amp mono block recomendations
Absolutely nothing. Very  nice. Had I not already purchased my P4's I would have seriously considered them.  
Hey K.....tt, Do you even have speakers??
Am I missing something here. Kenjit is being  ridiculed  because he has owned more speakers than most. I have had at least 30 pairs in the last 2 1/2 years. In fact 17 at one time.  Many of the identical model. I really enjoyed listening to each p... 
EL34 vs. KT66 output tubes
https://photos.app.goo.gl/3jdQU89NNsi3REv5A I have an interesting KT66 based bi-amp single mono block setup that I want to have converted to a 2 channel setup. It came from an organ. The tubes are all old and not NOS and check out very good. I am ... 
Tube amp mono block recomendations
Update...I have purchased a set of UK Audio Note P4 Mono blocks and upgraded my M3 preamp with the M6 model.They were local which was a nice bonus. I have since sold my ANK’s and put the Tannoy MG’s on the first line. The MG’s are 92.5 db by the w... 
Denon DL-103 and Audio Note AN-S2 SUT problem
Update.... The M6 has a failed coupling capacitor. By Audio Note's own admission they have had problems with copper foil caps of these years and have now gone to a redesigned cap to avoid this. I have recently purchased an M2 phono for a future 2n...

I have an Audio Note dac 3.1 with Audio Note M6 phono and AN P4 Mono blocks. Tannoy MG'sI am not fond of the Bryston software. I had a BDP 1.  The usability is important. I have all my files on a portable SSD Drive.

Dover... Have you actually heard the combination?The so called... Plonkers.... have been selling, servicing AN and building  ANK personally, not just the dealership for decades. They are very well respected in the industry for their knowledge and ...

After closer reading of your suggestions it could also be the phono stage in the M6 as the sound did not change. Thanks

So I plugged the TT straight into the Phono.... Same sound quality low gain. I then reconnected the SUT.. Same sound quality and low gain. SUT is used. Must be that the SUT has an issue.I will get it checked out. Thanks for all the advice folks.Ch... 
Denon DL-103 and Audio Note AN-S2 SUT problem
Thanks very much for your reply. I discussed it with my dealer who are Audio Note dealers. It would seem there is a problem somewhere. Like you said they confirmed that the combination is not the ideal one but it will sound quite good when working... 
Denon DL-103 and Audio Note AN-S2 SUT problem
That's what I thought too. It should not sound this bad. AN don't publish the specs on these.It shouldn't do any harm if I just plug right into the phono and see what the difference is. Any other trouble shooting tips.  
Denon DL-103 and Audio Note AN-S2 SUT problem
I don't understand your post. The M6 phono is a pre amp with a MM phono stage built in. Audio Note don't make an MC phono stage for their pre amps. That's why they have SUT'sThe M3 pre amp doesn't have a phono stage. I have P4 Mono Blocks  
Audio Note members re going from M3 Line to M6 phono
Update... I purchased the M6 and will complete the synergy with the AN SUT. Thanks for the replies folks.
