Keeping It Simple
Since CAF, I have been listening exclusively to the Thoress F2A11stereo/integrated amp.
http://www.thoeress.com/en/f2a11-stereo-amplifier/
The rest of the system: TW/Limited/10.5/Ortofon Cadenza Bronze, Horning Sati Phono, Cessaro Affascinate (Yes, the F2A is brilliant with the big Cessaros), Horning Aristotle Zigma Plus (last of the German production and also totally brilliant with the F2A). Purist Audio 25th Anniversary speaker cables and interconnects and the spectacular Silver Circle Audio 5.0se rounds things out.
I absolutely love this combination of the F2A/Aristotle/Limited/Sati in conjunction with the rest of the system mentioned above. Seriously, this is a Desert Island System. Small/Simple/Awesome.

The Thoress F2A11 is a "BIG" single ended 6 watts. I have been listening to the F2A11 as an integrated sans, pre. I got to say, my past impressions have been confirmed and then raised greatly. THIS IS ONE AMAZING AMP!
