Yup.
I have GOT to find a place to hear this turntable. I love this hobby
Yup.
So are you taking the plunge into tube amplification? Once you have that much fun in one day, it's hard to change course. Your current system looks really awesome but when you get the urge to change, sometimes you just have to go for it. I've heard raves about the Plinius amps and am curious as to what is drawing you to the LM tube amps.
It's a great combination, as I'm fortunate to own both the Amadeus GT and the LM 216IA. My amp is just in its break in phase now, but the sound impresses me in new ways every time I'm listening.
At 90db you should have no problem. The Boxers are nice looking speakers. I believe they out class my Nola Mini's.
How about some pic's of the Boxers with the Clone?
I have never heard the Nola Mini's, but here is your picture request:
Sorry about the crappy pics but I don't have a great camera and I know even less about photography than I do about stereo gear. I have been playing this set up all morning and it sounds way better than it has a right to. It is very pedestrian in appearance, but I think I have a keeper here. Another thing that impresses me is that this amp has some SACK. It plays big for 25 watts a side. It sounds great. I would love to hear the real deal for a comparison.
Yeah MWalt those single ended LM amps are very nice, and I liked the Devore speakers at Don Better's too. I think I would move to the Vandersteen 5A, if I had the money.
Also cannot find any specs on the gain of the 211 or 216 amp (as one person wanted to know), but with swapping of tubes and other factors of speaker sensitivity it might not be that important overall.
Have not gotten back in analog (TT arena) but I am enjoying the digital end with the 216IA. BTW Don has some SS amp gear by Musical Fidelity that sounds VERY good as well...
Thanks for the pic. Nice set up, and stop selling yourself short on the Tim Rawson. It's a very respectable amp much better than many brand named amps on the market....especially if the builder use top brand parts.

I heard lots of people rave about the quality of Plinius and Musical Fidelity when I was researching my amp. I heard the MF first and took it home
