Very cool. I predict you will be very pleased with the new amp.

Saw your profile and noticed that you have Blumenstein speakers. I do, too, and enjoy them very much with my SE 34i.2+. (System listed below.)

Cheers,
Blake

Hi Blake,
The Orca's are with my Decware SE84ZS in my computer room as a desktop system. The system in the living room is getting the Rachel and will be hookup to the speakers I bought and built from Madisound. They sound pretty good, however I'm going to giving them a shot after the Rachell has 100 hours on it and decide if I need to replace.

The short list for new speakers are the Decware 947's and the Omega Super 3s.

I do have a question for you, I notice that you are using the Goldring 1012GX for you cartridge and want to know how you like it?

One other item I to have a Lounge Audio LCR phone stage (one of the older ones).

Thanks,
Kevin

That's one heck of a desktop system.

Decware, Blumenstein and Lounge Audio ... You clearly have outstanding taste. Wink

The Decware 947s look great. I happen to live about a mile from the Blumenstein shop and have heard the new model, the Mako. They are outstanding and should be considered as well.

The 1012GX is a wonderful cartridge. Big sound that really excels at the frequency extremes. I got mine a long time ago; I think the price is now in the $500 range and I'm not sure how it measures against others in that price range.

The ZP3 looks great. Maybe that'll be my next move!

Cheers,
Blake

I will say it sounds good but a little ruff. But its right out of the box and its so similar to my Zen Select but with more power. I love it! Kevin

You know the drill, in a month you'll have forgotten all about it's being "new" and "breaking in" and you'll be grooving hard to the music!
