Tubed is preferred but will consider anything and everything. I know this is kinda vague but there are so many to consider. This one will not be a Dared SL2000A. :)

I would like to stay short of $750. It may be a fluid number if I'm dazzled but not too fluid. ;) Like I said, I'd consider almost anything. BTW, I pretty much know what's in the FM.

    I would say Cary from my experience but that's unfortunately over 750$.

    This might be a sleeper and worth looking into.

    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    IIRC AMC was started by some former NAD engineers so it's good stuff....
