What Integrated Amp do You use



        What integrated amp do you use, i picked up a Parasound Hint6 and totally fell in love. This thing is such a perfect all around performer, i was curious as to what other Integrated Amp people where using and why

I have both the Blackhawk and the Parasound in rotation. They are both excellent. The Parasound actually has a wider soundstage, amazingly lifelike vocals, esp female. The Blackhawk seems to present more detail esp in the upper registers, and degree dependent on the row 3 tubes chosen. Both are surpassed by my Simaudio Moon 340i, which has the best qualities of both—but all three are superb, and I can imagine a more committed rank order by someone with different ears. Although I would be surprised to hear the Parasound chosen over the Simaudio Moon!
re reading this entire thread, i am struck by what a wealth of high performing integrated amps we have in this present day... so wonderful to have such an extensive range of choices, using different technologies, at different price points, with different features integrated

of course, we have lost many brick n mortar stores to let those in the market to buy one to easily hear/audition... but with such a lively used gear market, many of these can be economically auditioned at home if one makes a bit of an effort

in this chaotic world we live in, it is actually wonderful time to be a music lover and hifi enthusiast!
