looking to go from seperates to intergrated

Sean27;
Thanks for sharing that account of your quest. Anything you care to add about why you settled on the TT amongst the other Pathos offerings , the Logos, and the Classic One? What are they asking for the TT these days?Many good things written about the Pathos line; I hope to hear them some day soon, but will have to travel for the pleasure...

Have not had the opportunity to listen to the classic one or the logos, my interest has been peaked by their cinema x system which has more capability towards a/v with no loss in audio. This unit is modeled after the logos with more power in stereo mode. Will have to listen to both . Will inform

Did have the opportunity to listen to the logos was not as impressive as the TT sound wise . TT had a fuller sweeter sound costing 5500 plus. Not sure of reliability .

Your comments are pretty interesting. I much preferred the BAT over Pathos TT and Logos during my testing. I thought the soundstage was much better on the BAT, but this one was a hybrid version.

The TT is a classic amplifier.Match with the correct speakers and you may be in Audiophile heaven ! Also not a "Fashion product" but a long term investment.Has stood the test of time as far as audio equipment goes....a present and future classic..clean and clear sound,its lasting impression.

The Logos...please note that much better results can be achieved by using different tubes.I have tried the following- Electro Harmonix 6922,Siemens CCa's and Ei Elite Goldpins J6D8 (Note: Have to change the pre stage fuse from the standard 1A to a 2.5 A,otherwise this tube blows the fuse as it needs 400mA compared to 300mA of the 6922's)All these tubes are much better sounding than the stock Sovteks.The Ei tubes may not be that long lasting.Using the Ei's at the moment and it has wonderful tone and balance,quite impressed !Siemens CCa,still THE tube...

Unless you really need the extra power,soundwise I think the Cinema X ,for stereo purposes,may equal the Logos in quality of presentation.

Pathos INPOL 2,perhaps the greatest of them all ? This may perhaps be my next amp.....!!!

By the way,I think Pathos and Merlin gel very,very well !!

Oh yes,the styling isnt bad either...actually,gorgeous !

I have had no reliabillity problems,exept the blown fuse,which was my own doing.
