Problem with most amps are the internal components and cheap tubes. I can take a vintage amp and change out the coupling capacitors & use select tubes. The result is breathtaking. The amp before modifications sounds ordinary at best.
Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK?
I’m trying to find a HIGH QUALITY integrated that has:
1. A no-corners-cut real class A - A/B power stage.
2. A real, high quality analog preamp line stage.
3. A good phono stage.
Aside from a few very high end products, the above described integrateds seem not to exist. Why can’t I find a quality integrated? Do we just have to accept having a pile of boxes?
