Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated
@bgross The Heed website is while very slick unusable for me. That's a hard start to get excited about a product (and my expectations for an audio web site are low). @2psyop  I wish I could listen to all these amps at dealers. I wouldn't take a...

I wouldn't trust Andrew Robinson even when was asking a question. He is the least knowledgeable and most arrogant youtuber out there, a bad combination (but logical)

@adrmi sent you a note  
Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated
@drmusic I have zero reasons not to buy this. Other than I am waiting if my offer was accepted for a Sim I-5.   @agwca I am sold on Sim or Rogue or Ava. I just don't see how Hegel or Primare could have any advantages, they might be just as good ...

@tkrtrb125 still above my current budget but it's a great deal, thank you! My only concern with AVA is the lack of pre out.

@agwca The Keces look great. Very reasonably priced too. I don't see a US distributor though. I wonder if they have a 110v version

thanks @pangeek! I am an impulsive buyer but my budget keeps me careful .I am sure some day I will grow up to appreciate tubes like the PrimaLuna :)

thanks @chrisroot76 for the update, this is a very useful thread!

thanks @chrshanl37 that very much matches my wish list - what the Primare does. I don't think I will be able to try 15 amps but 2 or 3 would be a good start :)

@chrshanl37 your experience may be key to my decision, you had Hegel and Primare too. Hegel used is still expensive, what did you like about the Primare that stood out?

@freediver It looks like a sweet deal. If I had $1500 (which I may just wait to save up) I would choose between the Simaudio, AVA and Rogue. The Hegel and the NAD C 3050 are also attractive amps but I prefer less features and power in general an...

@irjones I agree but I am also worried I can be just as disappointed in a $2000 amp than in a $500 one, it's a risky game. My only safety would be if I can try it first. When I buy used, I have to call it final, as re-selling would come at a loss....

@mdalton with the CAD-USD rate, if it's in top condition, it's a fair price.  @mbmi  I do not know* how to get in touch with Belles or any listed nearby dealers. That's a very outdated list. I highly value his work but he doesn't seem to care abo...

@mashif It's hard to beat the Rotel. I am close to pulling the trigger on Crutchfield. Or Denon PMA-1600NE on Amazon. They are both handsome and similar specs.   @mesch Yes, the SET 120 is another good one, I am just too hyped up about the C2 it...
