I'll hazard a guess and say it will find the Audionotes to be the best match.

Afternoon Gerry it's Going really well I see the similarities with regarded to the leak stereo 20 my dad had one in 2011 but he had to sell at the time
Been using the Audio Note / Rogers and now trying the very sweet Ruark Talisman in love with all I have tried will be trying more during the next week This is the end game for me amplifier wise it's an astonishing bit of kit the price was a bargain very very happy indeed . The Dan cave is something I have worked on with different levels of kit some of it rare indeed sure impresses folk I'm done now the collection is complete.
Thanks again

That's great, Dan - I'm really pleased that you're pleased.
It is indeed an astonishing bit of kit.
EL84 have been my favourite power valve for a long time, I just love their clear open naturalness and control. And the LA Audio amp is a very good implementation, imho.
But I'm done with valves now, I think.
It's good that it's gone to an appreciative home.

Finding the LA audio a superb match with the Audio notes very happy indeed valve converted its so addictive I can't stop listening
In the mean time a nostalgic purchase came my way a CYRUS ONE from 1984 I had one when I first joined the forum I ran Rogers LS7 then too so back to running a system I had in 2009 ... nostalgic buys are the best

The DC1000's should work well too.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
