I'm reading these posts about all the buy/sell issues. I bet I've spend close to a million dollars on that same quest. If I had my youth again, I'd wait/save/then buy really good stuff. I know someone will say, but all that really good stuff will be bettered next year. I have found that nearly always, its the faceplates that get upgraded....not so much the sound.
Do Integrateds sound better than Receivers?
I have a Rotel reciever as amplification for my system, but would like to upgrade to an integrated amp. One reason for this is that I don't listen to my radio. But the other reason is that I've been lead to believe that an integrated amp will sound better than a receiver. Is this necessarily so? How might having a tuner in the same chassis affect the sound quality of the amp? For example, would a Rotel integrated amp sound better than a Rotel receiver?
