took a big turn in system change. moving towards dynamics system which get me closer to live music. still fighting with room acoustics and compact room size. Pleasure of vinyl surpass cd by a miles.. almost happy for now but need to KEEP WALKING
Very nice system. I know the Karan sound. I used to have the Kai-180 integrated and a friend of mine has the Kas-450. I keep wanting to go back to tubes and every time we compare tube amps to the 450(including SET's), I really cant tell much of a difference except, the Karan has more muscle. It really does hold its own in the midrange compared to SET's for such a big s/s amp. I am tempted by the Kas -270 and the Kal Ref mk2 preamp. Happy listening.
