Integrated that blew you away


Like most I run separates but am looking to downsize but also upgrade. So for the first time since I decided I wanted as close to a world class system as I could afford, I’m looking at integrated amps.

 

So if you’re a separates guy/gal but heard an integrated that really struck you. Please share. I want to hear all the steamy details. The speakers, the source, the pursed lips and steamy glances.

we are integrated specialists 

we sell rega, nad,naim, krell ,synthesis, atoll,coda unison research esoteric and  a few others,

selecting a great integrated comes down to sound quality, features wattage solid state vs tubes or hybrids

there are a few really great integrated amplifiers:

the coda csib has bettered nearly every integrated we have tested

one really cool setup is the naim NSC 222 streaming preamp dac 

which can be stacked with the matching Maim nap 250dr power amplifier 

so you can have essentially an Integrated amplifier which is really separates

It’s very neutral to slightly warm sounding amp with lots of detail and resolution. Mids are fantastic with great stereo imaging. The A2 has been the best I have heard in terms of PRAT. You listen and forget about critical listening. Engagement is its forte. I have owned the luxman l595se previously and though sounded great never sounded right to me in comparison. The A3 is awhile another beast. Level of detail and soundstage is amazing. 

Hegel H390.  Great integrated amp, although the added “Streamer” is almost useless and the added DAC is okay, but a better DAC really makes it sing.

@maverick2108  thanks that’s great info

@audiotroy what are the pros and cons between the CODA and the Krell?
