Ever gone from seperates to an integrated?


I'm currently running seperates (Rogue m66/m88) which have a used value of about 2k$
and for my next upgrade I'm wondering if I should hop aboard the integrated train.
The idea of less interconnects and powercords appeals to me not to mention less isolation devices.

Does anyone have thoughts on this?
Would be interested in knowing what people would consider a "worthwhile" upgrade in the 3-3.5k used price range as an integrated (just need a volume remote! and HT pass through would be nice!)

Happy listening!

Have recently upgraded from a Krell KRC3-Theta Dreadnaught pre-power combination to the YBA Passion Integre, that costs significantly less.

Was that an upgrade or what? Absolutely. The YBA has more detail, bigger and better soundstage, superior timing, neutrality and to sum it up much more musicality. The YBA Passion Integre is a remarkable amp. Result: I've never enjoyed music like this before and the YBA can play from classical to rock.

Now my wife likes listening to music and my two young kids (5 and 3) ask for music rather than TV, and I can tell you, that is something.
