Re: Sound is everything....

and I don't understand, considering your budget, why you would settle for the kind of [audio] compromises you contemplate here.

A very good DHT amp can be built with 3C24 driving a GM70 or 845. A 45 driving 845 makes a good amp too...and you can avoid cap coupling. BUT you still need good HIGH EFFICIENCY speakers to get everything this amp can do. Cogent is an extremely good place to start....and end, but there are others too.

Would you use a RS turntable or a WalMart CDP in your system?

I don't think Lynn's amps sound any better than stuff like Rogue. Maybe a slight improvement, but just as squished, constrained and sterile. IMO.

As for the Ariels, I would suggest you adapt and build them with PHY KM30, Fertin or equal drivers. Nothing less than 99db efficient.
