Integrated amplifier sound
try out the Vandrsteen speakers for sure! I can tell you that I have heard these large speaker slam and provide detail with Pink Floyd with amazing musical detail. My gear to do this  is still an ARCAM CD player, dual turntable, Cambridge Audio DA... 
Integrated amplifier sound
Steve I appreciate the recommendation on B &K 4420. I will look into it. My Music Fidelity has gotten so much better now that I have burned it in and changed out the speaker cables and upgraded the power cable to it from the wall. I am loving ... 
Integrated amplifier sound
Thanks. I am researching Rogue, hear good things. I am hearing better sound now going on day two of burning in the Music Fidelity amplifier in my system. It makes a difference! I leave it on. Is growing on me. A bit warmer and much more musical ! ... 
Are integrated amps technically better than separates?
I remember owning a Luxman integrated back in the day. Sounded way ahead of the competition, and beautiful to look at! 
Are integrated amps technically better than separates?
I really love my Music Fidelity Dual Mono Integrated. I always wanted this type of British sound and level. Separates I have owned never came close to this smooth incredible power and sound. I could only afford it second hand but got it on Audiogo... 
New Speaker / System Suggestions
Cambridge Audio Azure is a smooth sounding and oh so sweet amp. I see you have mentioned the  851 Azur. Hope you get your system the way you want! Best of luck.

Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?....
I love my Yamaha T-1. It is all analogue and sounds smooth and warm. Has variable output also. I remember in the early 80,s seeing this tuner with other Yamaha separates paired with Perreux amps and ADS speakers, The Tuner sounds great still!  
Cassettes still rock!
The walkman was able to provide music freedom for the first time, so good. The good home tape decks like Teac, Nak, Revox, were superb for making music for me to play on my car Nakamichi cassette player. They made a few models in the mid eighties ... 
Linear Power supplies for DACs...?
I want to upgrade the sound I have. I just purchased a Swagman Labs Linear Power Supply on ebay for my Arcam DAC. The wall wart it came with is not factory and is just a small universal one with the correct voltage but it does not fit securely int... 
Cassettes still rock!
I agree! When I play same brand tape on my Nakamichi it is incredible. Came of vinyl or from my good Yamaha analogue tuner so it is that sound you mentioned. Must be why so many of us bought those higher end tape decks, love it! Thanks for posting !
