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?

Madavid0 ...

You seem to have a penchant for calling everything a "scam," and me in particular a "shill," and when questioned, you fall off of the end of the earth. In your thread where you accuse Synergistic Research's HFT's of being a "scam," you asked if there was a return policy. When answered in the affirmative, I asked you if you ordered a set using the 30 day return policy and to please report back with your results. To date, you've never gotten back to me. Is that your style, Madvaid0? You just raise controversy just for the giggles? What's up with you man? Are you still a teenager, or what?

  • Synergistic Research HFT's
  • OP seems like an astroturffing shill. There is 0 chance these little pieces of metal changed anything significant in the accoustics of a room.  

  •   Synergistic Research HFT’s
  • Okay time to put money where the mouth is. Are these offered with a no-questions trial return period?


Time to step up to the plate, dude. What happened when you ordered the HFT's based upon the 30 day return policy??? Inquiring minds want to know.

Any fool can find a quality integrated amp that will satisfy the requirements - what's your problem?

Everyone else - take a breath - without energy, the bad mojo in our world cannot survive.  Onward !

Remember, it’s a conspiracy started up by cable manufacturers.

We have a collective of a multibillion dollar secret slush fund that is partly used to pay off high end audio manufacturers of hardware, so they don’t make integrateds.

And to make sure everyone never sees what is going on..., we pay them to make horrid sounding integrateds.

Then we paid off the op to start this thread and misdirect everyone... all while we laughed uproariously in our secret cable boss lair. Where we keep all the perfected integrateds in a deep dark dungeon, never to be heard by any human- for all of eternity.

And to get to the integrateds, you have to cross a moat..filled with CD players with frikin’ lasers mounted in their sleds.
