Compare intregrated amp ECI-3 VS.AR.

I have owned an audi0o refinement complete. But recently sold it to buy an audiomat arpege tube integrated. The complete is ok but was completely outclassed in all respects for less money there is a passion audio integrated tube for $1100 that destroys the complete . I think there are some reviews at www.mutine.com and a reviewers choice review of the audiomat at www.soundstage.com I know That www.fidelisav.com sells both products. also www.theabsolutesound.com has a four way review including the ECI-3. Do yourself a favor and get the audiomat. Chel

You know, I sure hope to hell a $1,900 amp is much better than a amp half it's price. The Audio Refinement is unmatched at it's price in my view, and I'm hoping should I ever want to better it, that by paying double I'll bump in quality in every way.

I'm curious where you guys think the Sim Audio I5080 compares to the AR Complete. These two units are in the same price range and I think the Sim is an honest challenger to the ARC.
