An on-going futile quest

Description

Goal: Let the musical event be reproduced in the most detailed but involving manner. It must move me, not just recover detail for detail sake.

Next upgrades: room acoustics; I am also currently evaluating the Coincident Mk2 Frankenstein monoblocks.

This is a vinyl-centric system centered on the Coincident Phono stage and the Nantais/Lenco/Allnic combo.

Divo,
Interesting amplifier change. Many people will suggest push-pull DHT tubes over the DHT SET amps saying same(or very similar) sound quality but with more power.
I`ve remain doubtful about the same sound aspect.
Good SET amps are just different IMO. Do you notice compromise with less power? Any difference in tone quality?

Hello,
Divo, what a nice system you have assembled. How much power do your Tannoys require? The Frankensteins are wonderful, but you`re currently using a Canary 339 amp which is always highly praised. This seems like a can`t lose situation for you. I`d like to hear that amp one day.
Best Regards,
