Class B int.=Class B Pre/Pro???


Does a Class B integrated amp. in "Stereophile" have the same level of performance as Class B Pre/Pro combo?
I email this question to "Stereophile" but they don't bother to answer.

Good question. My guess would be sometimes yes, sometimes no, depending on how well the two components integrate,you should pardon the pun. The tradeoff between a shorter, cleaner signal path(for integrateds), versus the superior isolation(in most cases) of separates, makes it hard to generalize. I can easily picture the sum being greater or lesser than it's parts.
