Thanks Soumya for the impressions.Having heard @fLUX 's setup, all I can say is that this is the most detailed setup I have ever heard in a good way. You would be forgiven if you think it is a smooth, wooly, laid back sound due to so many tubes. However this is exactly the opposite - it throws out detail in an incredibly smooth manner where at the sweet spot, you would be hearing tonnes of things happening but you would never get fatigued. I have heard a lot of detailed setups where listening fatigue sets in almost instantly. Not this one - the presence of tubes makes it really enjoyable.
This is what really high end amplification does to a system.
If I may add on my personal impressions at a component level for some of the lesser literature/known compoments in the chain
i) The Melody P2688 is by far the best preamp I have owned & was love at first hear during the home audition. Having owned the KR Audio p130 and Cary Audio SLP03 , the melody far outweighed the other two in my setup & paired beautifully with the Cary ( it's designed to also be paired with the Melody 845 power amps)
ii) The Cary Audios are just top notch & do exactly what you mentioned when paired with the right pre. Need to get a 845 tube to see what it brings to the table vs a 211. Else it's pretty much an endgame amp for me , at 50-70wpc it's ample power for most speakers in a room of my size.
iii) Thanks to a friend of mine I was made aware of an Audial Aya 5 available in US market & I picked it up. The love for this TDA1541A based dac has only increased since then. While the mids are an absolute treat , the way it stages & the top end resolution is just excellent.
The culmination of the above has helped me achieve the most on the source & amplification part. The Tannoys do a fair job on the reproduction part too & the Proac Tablettes are a good complement to the Tannoy.
