dear Rene, thanks for your review. I bought the cayin sc 6ls mkII because of your video's and I'm very glad I did !! It's beautiful and I perhaps will buy your Sevgzeu tube power amps as well (althought i can only find sevgzeu with stereo amps) . I'm not yet shure if that will bring improvement over the NAD C298 Eigentakt Purify Class D am currently listening to. The combination works perfectly

[@renessoundlife235]

Thank you for your trust and affirmation, a real honor and pleasure for me. The techs use to say "never change a well running system", therefore you may happily stick to your NAD. Unfortunately I cannot decide which of the two would sound better in your setup, but should you ever want to try the Sevgzeu, you can contact me and I will give you some additional hints.

I've got over 20hrs on Forte IV. Utterly spectacular.

Hi, you forgot to tell me with which amp!

[@klepp19]

@@uberlebeninthailand Still haven't decided yet. I'm leaning towards a simple SEP similar say to Reisong A12. What you think. Fortes are amp sensitive.

What integrated sounds the most tubey?

[@renessoundlife235]

This is impossible to answer in a few words. If you are willing to sacrifice resolution for warmth, look for a vintage model, otherwise I recommend you watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2SQoamYnNGlqdE in the channel Thomas and Stereo (and some more videos there). He is an expert and might help you along, because he has compared dozens and dozens of tube amplifiers.

I watch his channel too and it seems Synthesis Roma 96DC could be the ticket!

[@renessoundlife235]

@@klepp19 don't forget to check if the ticket includes a matching sensitivity of your speakers!

@@renessoundlife235 My speaker is the Klipsch Forte IVs.

[@renessoundlife235]

@@klepp19 Great speakers, congratulations. With their sensitivity of 99 dB you would never have any issues with low watt amps but with the Synthesis Roma's 50 watts you are more than on the safe side. I hope you can listen to the 96 DC somewhere, because your ears should always have the last word, not the specs nor the reviewers.
