If one wants to get off the equipment upgrade merry go round, EC gear would be at the top of my audition list. In the solid state realm, the EC gear is easily the best overall performer I have come across. They are stable on the most punishing speaker loads available, and seem to get just about everything right. Low level detail is outstanding, with the clarity and correct dynamic contrast (no compression of the loud passages to make the quiet ones appear louder). The design is truly balanced from stem to stern, and propriety circuitry makes it sound closer to music than just about any SS gear out there. EC is a great match with speakers like ATC, which demand top designed electronics to sound their best.
EC seems to have a larger following in Europe than North America, but worth seeking out.

Never heard of EC ? I forgot to add in my post concerning the artificial sounding Sony TA-!ES the UK version is a rip-off $3250 .

My experience with Electrocompaniet is to avoid them.
