Thanks to all for responding. Definitely helpful!

PS - that’s also why I’m not asking on audiokarma. Great community but they seem to have more entrenched subjective biases I don’t see here on ASR.

People who have worked on these units and/or know them technically have a different perspective than I might otherwise. John’s one of those guys I’m guessing, and if there are others it would be interesting to hear from them.

Understood but I’m not asking for someone else to choose, just what the more experienced folks feel/think. These are pretty well-known units and if there’s one thing the testing in ASR reveals, it’s that there were some pretty good designs used in the past, and some pretty good stuff inside.

Hi Everyone - I know this may strike some as an annoying topic, but I know there’s a still a fair amount of knowledge if not appreciation in the ranks for these units, and could use a bit of feedback. Below is a list of units I own and have accumulated. Simply put, I’ll be in a transitional...
