| Best integrated for my needs???? Quick update, to close the loop. I found a screaming deal on a Mark Levinson 585.5 in my area which was too good to pass up. I must admit I am really surprised how much it has improved my modest system line up as is. Really an amazing improvemen... | |

| Best integrated for my needs???? What is the general consensus on the Devialet integrateds? It seems on the surface like a love em or hate em proposition? I see that 440 pro that just came up today, any thoughts? | |
| Best integrated for my needs???? I should clarify that my budget is $20K for entire system. I anticipate that the budget for the Integrated amp at somewhere around $9-10k. Leaving me 10K for DAC, Speakers etc. I am am likely to buy some used components to be efficient with my m... | |
