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
Pimaluna EVO 100 and absolutely love it and could not be happier for the money spent. The sound is amazing on the Bluesound node 2i and better yet on the Innuos mini Mk III. I compared it with another high end integrated amp before deciding to try it at home. The comparison against the EVO 100 was roughly 3 times the cost, and 4 times the power. The EVO clearly sounded better. My 89db efficent DYI speakers never sounded so good and all I could want. In my small townhome it will shake the place yet detailed and crystal clear.
Manley Stingray II. One of the best sounding amps I’ve had. Better than Cronus Magnum II by a lot in my system. Have fairly efficient speakers, 92 db. Also beats much more expensive solidstate monoblocks that I’ve had - Mark Levinson 436. On a par with Pass Labs XA-60.5, but with a different sound character.
NAD C368. My first choice was the Parasound New Classic 200, but I was offered a 25% discount on the former and took the bait. Budget hobbyist here. I would love to own the Hint 6 if I had the dough to spare.
