I did do an upgrade from the legendary builder Diego Nardi (engineer Audio Note Italian 90s). I listen to mostly original jazz records (Blue Note, Prestige, etc..) With an Audio Note M3 phono, turntable Michell Orbe, CD Electrocompaniet EMC 1 UP, Western Electric 300B tubes and speakers Audio Note SPX, The sound is fantastic, unique and unrepeatable. I also listened to other systems much more expensive than mine, but believe me, this is truly paradise

Truth music - live instruments.

You need a pre-amplifier also by Audio Note, like M2. But this is not a weakness.

I changed all capacitors by audio note capacitors or black gate. This is a magnifique amplifier and gives you the chance to up grade until the sky.
