What did the Nagra do above the Twenty? I like the detail in the standard MR-x would hate it to be "more tube like"( ie. mellow?), it's the dynamics and pace that I like, perhaps fast a better word.

dinster - I demoed the Nagra classic amp and a Nagra preamp in my system at the same time had the MxR Twenty and KXR Twenty on demo. To my ears, the Ayre Twenty combo was better. More organic with better midrange. I could always detect a tiny, small trace of solid state electronics sounds with Nagra, but none with the Ayre combination.
