Best Integrated, period.


Has anyone compared, Gryphon Diablo, Gamut Di150, Vitus SS101, Krell FBI, APL UA-S1 Jeff Rowland Continuum 500? Please add what you found to be best integrated.

Egidius, thanks for the tip, I didnt know that one, Berning seems to make nice amps, however this one doesnt seem to be easy to find.
Mike60,
thats the kind of response I was looking for when this thread was initiated, I too was under the impression the Gamut was a very nice amp, also Jvalin recommended it together with Magico Minis, and maybe slightly better than the Gryphon. Its a bit cheaper as well.
Just keep the Integrated amp you have now and do this free tweak to it. On the amp outputs just reverse the way you hook up the speaker cables to your Integrated amp on the other end of your speaker cables, your speaker hook ups you (do not) reverse the cables....I did this in my tape loop on my Integrated amp too. Did you all know that some recordings were recorded this way?
That is why on some CDPs, linestages, and integrateds there exists an 'absolute phase' switch. . . . just in case the phase of the recording were incorrect. . . and your ears could tell the difference. G.
The Musical Concepts KW-500 is no slouch either: (http://www.musicalfidelity.com/products/archived/kw500.html) IF you can find someone that's willing to part with one.
