Olympica II arrived today

What made you decide to hang onto the REF 110? I haven't had much experience with tubes but last weekend at AXPONA I heard a lot of tube amps and loved the sound. I think I may explore some tube amp options but need to get a better dad first.

The BAT VK-250SE I tried reminded me of how much I typically don't care for solid state.
I also tried (and have stuck with) the 8 ohm taps on the Ref 110 with the Olympica II's.

Updated photos: Added the ARC Ref 10 preamp (replaced the Ref 3). What an amazing piece of gear. I'm still getting used to the shear size and breadth of soundstage, etc. Crazy impressive preamp. :-o
