Advice needed

Hi

I have recently come to a stage in my life where I need to simplify and rationalise.
So in keeping with my new Zen lifestyle I'd like to reduce my black boxes from 7 to one shiny one preferrably one that glows in the dark.

I'd also like to keep my Naim Allaes if possible coz I love em.

I'm currently being seduced by the EAR V20 altho' I've not heard it, Its just so beautiful.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Thanks

 

Maybe a Linn Classik or a Naim N-vi?

 

Sorry Onno Just the amps. More Zen less anal.

 

I'm not sure about Naim speakers and valves..... Out of interest have you heard the Audionote stuff and their own speakers? To me that's the essence of thermionics!

 

'the essence of thermionics'
Gosh that sounds impressive. No I haven't really listened to any valves recently outside of shows.
Not really sure what to look at. I like the look of the Pathos and EAR amps tho'

 

just done it!

Have ditched 6 boxes(phono and pre with a power supply each and a pair of monos) for AN Meishu phono(ok, it's 2 with the step up) to go with my AN Es.
Wondrous 'thermionic' sound!
Is any one after a complete delphini/orca/alecto set up?

 

What version of alectos?

 

Mk 2 with recent 250w upgrade

 

have a look at vincent sp t-100's - it's a pair of mono's but they are available in black or silver and have a nice bit of glowing valveyness behind a glass window (the glow intensity is adjustable via soem leds in the box too). also a couple of blue led's. oh and it sounds quite nice too. i think there's a 1 box version available too but not heard that.
cheers
