Thanks.
Nice set-up.
Not sure I'll go for the D-N10, though it would be a nice match. Will need to upgrade my CDP at some point in the not-too-distant future.
Am wondering if I will be able to feed the iPod input directly from my Oppo 04HD. If so, will open up another input.
If the phono-stage turns out to be as good as I'm hoping I will be selling my Cary PH-302, which is outstanding, and replacing it with the K&K Premium SUT, which is what is inside the PH-302. The K&K is about 1/25th the size of the PH-302 and I'm truly 'downsizing'.
Will be pushing a pair of Focal 1008Be II monitors, which are 89db efficient. Also, my primary listening position is in the near-field, so that will be another help.
Am hoping that the headphone output (which is driven off the output tubes) will drive a 35' extension cable without any problem.
p.s. - we have that lamp with a rectangular shade. Obviously, great minds think alike.
