I agree. The tube players seem to mate well with the Ref9's and B&W's. They seem to balance well together to produce a type of audio nirvana. And your Shanling piece belongs in the Museum of Modern Art. And I love the fact that it makes playing cd's just like putting a lp on a turntable. It gets you more involved with the music.
Unlike, Tboooe, I find myself using the tube output 90% of the time v. about 10% ss output for some particular recordings only. On the Cary, I find warmth, detail and a tremendous soundstage with the tube output, the Ref 9's and the B&W's. Now, I am getting ready to do some tube rolling.
It is pretty amazing that the little Ref9's have a much deeper lower end than our much larger and more powerful Aragon's.
Enjoy the music.
