Terry.......The Leben CS600 would be a wonderful retirement gift. I have longed for the CS600 myself for years.

It's a beautiful amp, makes me wish I had a place for another system.

Dan... I've wanted to own a Leben CS600 for some time now. I would love to have a simple Leben CS600 setup in my upstairs room as a place to just relax and let the music carry me away. I think it's a beautiful little integrated.

+1. I heard this little wonder a few years ago. Absolutely terrific. Low powered, but if used as a headphone amp or with some efficient speakers, it makes beautiful sounding music.

I have heard the Leben CS300xs and it functions as a wonderful headphone amp.

Norah Jones seems to enjoy her Leben.

I preferred the GL EL84's to Mullards when I had a Shindo Montille. All Mullard EL84's are not equal and the and they are now priced on rarity. YMMV.
