I've been interested in replacing my McIntosh MA6600 integrated for quite some time and have a real fondness for tubes. I was rereading through this thread and see that I almost pulled the trigger on the VSi75 4 years ago but life, an exchange of speakers after a move, and my recent upgrade of my analog front end has delayed that plan. But the speakers (Harbeth 30.1s) and upgraded turntable / arm have just reinforced my desire to get a tube integrated (go figure). So I'm saving my pennies and shooting for the VSi75 once again. I've considered the very well reviewed and less expensive PrimaLuna Dialogue HP integrated, but it doesn't have a mono switch (I have a lot of mono albums) and doesn't have a tape out (I have a reel to reel) - the VSi75 has both - so the PrimaLuna doesn't seem to fit the bill. So before I set my laser sights on the VSi75, any other thoughts you all might want to share?
