The issue with this and some other forums for me is folks posting with opinions about Equipment that they haven't owned or even heard. They will parrot what's been written by reviewers or posters similarly inexperienced. Sorry folks, but if you haven't heard it you don't have an opinion.
Bigger and Better: Integrated Amplifiers
For our collective entertainment, this thread is all about upgrades. The rule is that you cannot post unless you have owned the most recently posted integrated amplifier and upgraded to a different integrated amplifier.
For example, I started with a Yaqin MC-30L and upgraded to a Pathos Classic One MkIII.
The next person should post their upgrade from a Pathos Classic One and so on.
