Nilthepill, now it is my tun to say that I am in 100% agreement with you. The 9600 on my Quads seems perfect synergy. For the phonostage I just had a go at a Wavac, although I thought of Zanden, but I got an offer which I couldn't refuse. Wonder how the Wavac will mate. UPS willling, I should have it tomorrow. I had an IO about 5 years ago, found it a bit noisy at the beginning, but after extensive tube rolling it was absolute bliss with excellent dynamics. A change of fortunes forced me to sell it with all the rest of my gear. I still miss it today.
Cheers,
Detlof
