    The T+A is doing the heavy lifting in the front room.

    Re: Meanwhile, over here at Integrated World...

    I think we’re living in the golden age of integrated amps. There is a multitude of high quality offerings from nearly all major manufacturers. I was a separates guy for close to 40 years. Four years ago when I turned 60, I began to reassess priorities and auditioned some integrated amps. My hearing and my back aren’t what they used to be and so I discovered that a well-built integrated amp can sound every bit as good (to me) as separates that cost (and weigh) a lot more. I like the simplicity and don’t feel like I’m losing anything in terms of sound quality and enjoyment.

    it’s great that Mike has such a variety of integrated amps to choose from. Something for every taste and budget.

    Re: Meanwhile, over here at Integrated World...

    You just know that at night, when it's just the electronics hangin out, that Diablo 300 is talking some smack about how the PA 3100 gets to be in the big boys room.

    What a great breadth of offerings, Mike.

    That T+A is the most handsome of the bunch IMO (but they seem fairly proud in their pricing).

    Personally, I think integrated manufacturers are better off offering DAC-less products. Why include something that is evolving and prone to change?

    Once you've picked up Esoteric and have the K-03-XD, I'll need to come visit and audition Diablo, 3100, 700i, 866 with 802D3 and S3 Mk IIs.

    I think PASS needs to make sure you have a 250 on site. How can someone listen to the 60 against the Diablo 300 or 3100 and think they've made a legitimate comparison? So unfair.

    The choices Mike has is pretty amazing...

    Re: Meanwhile, over here at Integrated World...

    I think we are in a golden age of integrated amps. So, choices, price and performance can make a decision hard for consumers. Which is a good thing. I went with the Gryphon Diablo 300 with Dac and for me I can enjoy the one box approach with no regrets or feeling of wanting more. Sometimes it time to just listen and enjoy. I feel I’m there.
    Speakers: Magico S3 (23')
    Integrated:Gryphon Diablo 300 plus DAC
    Streamer: HiFi Rose RS150b
    CD/DVD: Oppo 205
    Cables: Cardas-Shunyata-AudioQuest-Supra
    Roon Core: sonicTransporter i7 powered with HDPlex 200w linear PS, running AudioLinux for Roon--Tidal and Qobuz with iPad Pro

    wow, what a line up!! love it ...and the pic of the R2R, msb and t+a is making me drool.

    one question though, where are the tube integrateds? it's like there are all the flavors of baskin robins except vanilla. hopefully, there is another room reserved just for them.

    We have two tube integrated amps. I’ll send pics today.

    We’ve had both, and today have the Classico 300b and Solista. The 300b has Classic gorgeous mids, but the Solista has a massive soundstage, dynamics and bass. But find efficient speakers for either!

    Stupid name. And the designer is distracted in Raidho land. The product sounds ok, but so does 9000 other products we beat off with a stick on a daily basis as dealers.

    No offence but sounds like there is something personal there. Lol, if we chose not to like hifi by the brand name there wouldn’t be a lot of choices left.

    Lots of choices lots of preferences out there.

    That’s your opinion. It’s nothing personal. I bring in what I want because I have to spend my money on it. Gamut is decent, but I would have to tell their story when the customer says “what’s Gamut? Never heard of it.” And the designer is building speakers for Raidho nowadays.
