Is the Almarro 318B For Me?Any Others?

Upgrade-itus: Classé DR-9 vs. MF A3.2?
The DR 9 in a heartbeat. Have used valves for many years now, but owned a pair of DR9s (with Apogee Mini Grands) for many years and I wish I still had them. They are great amps, even by today's standards , although a quick checkup would be wise as... 
Fairpoint Convention
Unhalfbricking is my favourite album of all time as is Sandy Denny my favourite performer- Fairport Live is fabulous as well. Found live performance at Abberts Field on CD quite recently, sadly not a very good pressing. And then there was Fotherin...
