I have an Audionics CC-2 - one of the first low feedback audiophile amps. Very sweet sounding,though I prefer the magical VFET sound my Yamaha B-2's that don't qualify due to the fact that Yamaha made gear for all types of people at all types of price points, and not just high end.
No, those don't qualify, you should get rid of those ASAP!
How much for the M-4?
My M-1 is lonely...
I was just happy to turn up a M-4. Not that the M-1 was exactly made in large numbers, but there seem to be quite a few M-1's around for each M-4. Sorry, the M-4 is a keeper for me....No, those don't qualify, you should get rid of those ASAP!

I knew that would be your answer!
Totally understand, I have many days when I can't wait to get home and fire up that old beast.
What are you currently running as a pre with it?
I am currently running an Integra pre amp, Epicure M-1 and Pioneer HPM 150 speakers.
I mostly use Google chromecast for listening and occasional CD.
I have been enjoying the Chromecast with Spotify and the streaming sounds very good with the M-1.
Used Rotel and Anthem prior to the M1 and the M-1 is in its own world.

I agree with completely about the M-1. I ran several different Quad models and a Krell prior to the M-1 coming to roost. Maybe we should just keep it our little secret?
Fiddlefye,
Here's the secret.
When you no longer need to play the music louder to try to hear the "sweet" sounds, there is not one harsh nuance to be heard and simplicity satisfies.
Find this song.
Eva Cassidy, "Autumn Leaves" from Her Nightbird album live recording.
Wow!
She must be singing with the Angels now.....

I like the path you are on. I predict SETs mated with the proper speaker will be in your future.

What about the pioneer p-d70
IMHO, that is a high end combo.
What about the B-2101 / C2101? Upper Mid-Fi? Lower high end?

Phase Linear PL700 Power Amp
Carver PM1.5 Power Amp ( When I used these 2 pieces I had the Yamaha C-60 and Carver CT-29V Preamps)
currently:
Luxman M-2000 Power Amp
Luxman C-1010 Preamp
Luxman M-02 Power Amp
Luxman CX-100 Preamp
Yes, the M-6000 and M-05 would be the big brothers that would be much better contenders on this thread but I'm living with what I have the best I can.

How about Luxman's valve pre amps and pwr amp. in 1970 ?
CL 35
CL 35MK II
CL 35 MK III
MQ 36,
MQ 60
M150
M1600
They aren't cheap back in 1970s and some models are still quite expensive for now.
If combo is allowed, I would add these models:
SQ 38
SQ 38D
SQ 38F
SQ 38FD
SQ 38FD Mk2,
CL 35
CL 35MK II
CL 35 MK III

Running the Carver C-1 now. It's in excellent condition as it was not used very much.
No mods, just how Bob designed it works for me.
My room seems to work well with the Holography but I like to listen with and without holography on.
