And you find modern SET and/or push/pull triode amps too revealing and what? Not warm enough (sonically speaking). Personally, I have found the modern SETs to outperform most of the vintage tube gear I have heard by being revealing and precise as well as having a natural tonality. Best of both worlds IMO.
I have heard rebuilt Garrards a number of times and never found them ultimately to be my thing...I much prefer my 1980s Yamaha GT-2000 ;-). I was never a fan of the Ortofon SPU sound...
What is the driver in the Shindo Latour? Is it an Altec coaxial driver?
I find it interesting you mention a Citation 1 preamp but that it has been rebuilt and modified. Rebuilt with vinatge or modern parts? Modified how and if it was so much better than modern gear why was it modified at all?
Finally, you mention an Accuphase cd player but I do not know from what year it comes? Is it from the late 80s, the 90s, early 2000s? You imply it is vintage but if it is not 80s or early 90s then I would still call it a modern player.
What I can agree with you on is that the older cd players/DACs that used good multibit chips like the Burr Brown PCM63 or the ambitious UltraAnalog D20400, were more musical, but still very resolving, compared to "modern" DAC chipsets that were driven more by cost cutting than any real sonic advantage. I use "vintage" DAC chipsets in my digital to this day.
