New SS Integrated from ARC DSi200 ...

Hifi News' March 2010 edition just gave the DSi200 a very positive review.

Just heard one tonight, quite wonderful, and it's not even broke in yet. I expect great things from it. Even has a mono switch! And for all you constant whiners about heat/amps, this is babyfingers cool to the touch.

Hello,

Any other real world- experiences with this amp?

I'm wondering how it would compare to the 50W ARC VSI-60 integrated Valve amp, more specific concerning how those two differ in sound? Esp. when powering moderate sensitive speakers in the 88-90 db-range.

Anyone?

Thanks

Many people thought the Sophia IIIs, driven by the DSi200, were some of the best sound of the show when Wilson´s Peter McGrath demoed the new speakers in Gothenburg, Sweden last weekend.

I've just bought this amp a couple of days ago in Germany.

I upgraded from a Krell KAV 500i and this amp is amazing!!

The voices sound wonderful and it has a much more relaxing sound compared to the Krell. And it still needs a 600 hrs burning in so i have some time to go. ;-)so should be improving more.

Also the bass sounds very good and strong, almost at the same level like the Krell.

But if we talk about power the DSI is no match for the Krell
