Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated
@bluorion I have heard great things about Belles, I never had success contacting them. Is it a hobby company that doesn't like to sell? ::)   @ml8764ag You are right. I am looking onto Vincent Audio used and demos, they are under a $1000!  
Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated
@stanleylocke the logistics part of it is iffy: If I buy something used from someone, that will be it. If it’s not working out, I will be stuck with it or I can resell it at a significant loss - 2-400 dollars, practically a third of my budget, whi...

@stanleylocke Thanks! NAD is still on my list. So is Cambridge Audio. @g2the2nd I can’t get onboard with the look. Must be good value though @tkrtrb125 yes Simaudio is winning. Virtually (and virtually only, I can’t buy it if I don’t have a retu...

@freediver maybe it was the specific item/something off, they sounded flat, lifeless, boring. I had big expectations, I wasn't biased. Could just be synergy too.

little update, I tried the Rogue Sphynx and an older Creek. Rogue was not a good match in my system. Creek was OK but not too exciting.  I am exploring my options to try used Sims and a Billie but I may not be able to return them so my purchase w...

@stanleylocke I missed it, what was it?  
Integrated Amps
@bgross the new price is way out of my budget. But I would definitely go to Andover to listen to them, maybe they will have a used one.

@michaelalan I am interested to learn about your Billie, and I don't see it at TMR yet. I will message you....

I find audiotroy rude but maybe I am reading it wrong   
Integrated Amps
@audiotroy really?   @nonoise AR is a bully. I once commented on his inaccurate numbers and he attacked me like I molested him. Instead of looking at and correcting his dumb, wildly inaccurate numbers. Honestly, he lacks substance, intelligence ...

long story short, as much as the AVA seemed the best deal, the lack of pre-amp removed it from my list. The next steps are a process of elimination Rogue, Simaudio, Primare and Hegel have met my criteria and received a lof of positive feedback. R...
