Here’s my phisological take on this.
Esoteric F03-A
After 35 years in this hobby, I never thought an integrated could sonically match (and exceed) a stack of reference tube electronics that it replaced in my system. This is a feat that would never have been possible for any integrated 10 years ago.
I have been so impressed that I have no desire to go back to separates. Not in my lifetime!!
Full disclosure....Speakers are Verity Audio Parsifal Anniversary although the Amadis S would mate a little better with this amp but hey, you can’t have everything.
