I use a Caiman and a top notch linear supply feeding an Avondale A260 using the variable outputs and I have never owned a more enjoyable setup (and I have gone through lot's of them in my time).
Internet radio through the SB3 into this set up is fantastic.
Nice one Stan.

I would just like to second the comment about internet radio/Caiman. Radio Paradise at 128aac is bloody superb. Radio Caroline also excellent.
