	Tubes, with good sources, yield a better sound that trannies. Although
the Krell comes close (perhaps the Levinson too but 25W! come on!). A friend
of mine sells New York Audio Labs (Futterman Output Transformer less) power amps
and he has an OTL-1 in his room (4 cabinets 250lbs $10000 5000W regulated supply
for EACH channel) this must be the cleanest, best sounding amp I have ever heard
I have a HK Citation II and Citation V and I just love the accuracy, I am made
ill by a lot of the new innovations and gimmicks these days...They had the 
designs right 20 years ago (just the sources weren't good then)

	final note: my ideal system

		source : linn+linn arm+adcom
		pre    : Conrad-Johnson P1
	        power  : OTL-1
		speakers : Quels (stacked Quad ESL63's)
			   (twist my arm -> ENTEC sub)
		~$25000 
				Cheers.
