Luxman P1u or Rudistor RPX-300 or ?

Time to compliment the SPL Auditor.

I don't have much experience with Solid State amps... well amps in general - Hornet, Proton, Singlepower Supra (not sure it ever worked right) and the SPL Auditor.

Current setup; MacBook --> Weiss AF1 --> Esoteric D-05 --> SPL Auditor --> Qualia 010 & Lawton Audio L7000 (and when they become more readily available a pair of T1's)

I want to move the Auditor to an office setup with a Weiss DAC2 using the L7000's. So the new amp would be primarily for the Qualia's and future T1's. I had a P1u on order before they arrived in the States, but after the second delayed shipment I became impatient and purchased the Auditor (I didn't have any amp at the time).

I believe TTVJ will allow me to listen to the P1u, but I'm not sure how to audition the RPX-300.

So your thoughts on a new solid state amp for this setup, is the Auditor as-good-as it gets?

I haven't heard them yet but have gathered a lot of info from both the forum and communication with friendly and helpful members here.
I would say the Auditor is pretty high up the ladder.
Upgrading would need something like the Luxman, Beta22 or GS-X in the solid state camp.
I ordered a Phonitor and P-1u myself, both top amps, one with crossfeed and one without.
Let's just say I like different flavors

I look forward to your thoughts comparing the two amps.

That could take a while.
I should get the Phonitor this week, but the P1-u is for July at the earliest, maybe even end of August after the holidays.
I'll try to remember to post my impressions here when I have them both.
You can always send me a PM if you want by half of July.

Edit: it's already starting: Phonitor will be two weeks later because the black faceplates haven't arrived yet due to the recent shut down of air-traffic. So don't expect me to have the Luxman too soon. I have the first one reserved of the two that will be imported into Belgium for now though.

I might have some observations comparing it to the SPL Auditor before July

The Luxman is in the house, burning-in

Congrats!
You probably don't live in Europe then, since they are not even available in Germany yet.
Now you can tell me first how it compares to the Auditor .
