I have a Pass Labs INT-250. You will be hard pressed to find a better
amp/preamp combination that can compete with this integrated
amp. It is expensive, but worth it, in its clarity, simplicity and absolute excellence. I have it connected to a Herron phono amp
and B and W 802 D3 speakers, VPI Prime signature with Van den Hul Strat.
On a separate note I am surprised how many members of this forum make judgements on components before breaking them in.
It takes about 200 hours before some components achieve their potential. For cartridges sometimes more. In the case of my speaker about 1000 hours.
