Thinking Hybrid Integrated.
Pathos, ModWright Instruments, Rogue Audio, McIntosh who else am I missing? Have to buy online. No high end dealers where I am at,
I have a Pathos heritage, nice sounding amp. Just Italian made… day one one of the VU did not work, the settings get rest all the time, no pre-in. When I posted in a Pathos forum asking for help, I would avoid Pathos next time. |
@cantorgale although the sound of the amp is OK, it is abundantly clear that the Heritage VUs have a problem, as Pathos does with their Heritage controllers that reset themselves almost every time you either completely turn the power off following their procedures or by turning the amp using their remote control. I know of 6 people with a Heritage all of them have the exact same issues and one of them was out of commission for months.. Although I do not regret buying the Heritage, knowing what I know now I would not buy it, because there are significantly better amplifiers in the $15K-$25K range like the BAT VK-90T for example. To some people a faulty VU might not be of a big deal, to me it just annoys the hell out of me. I am glad that the Heritage is in my home in the USA which I do not use much.
