An integrated wouldn’t be my “end-game” amp. Get a non-functional McCormack DNA 0.5 for around 500 bucks and send it to SMcAudio and have them rebuild it for you. Absolute SOTA amp on the relative cheap, and then just buy the preamp flavor of your choice to go with it. I use an LTA MZ2 tube pre (with upgraded LPS), but that’s me.
???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???
Pretty simple question..
While I’m sure the "No Such Thing" crowd will make sure they represent,I’m not interested in their rhetoric..
I am however,most interested to hear from those who have heard integrated amplifiers they could get off the merry go round with,ESPECIALLY if it was on the more budget end of cost..For myself it would have to be the Sugden A21SE but that was 2 years ago,before the cost climbed to $4000.00......
Thanks for participating..
