Respectable Integrateds

[MetalNuts]

I am using Gryppon's Diablo 300.  It is the best Integrated I have.  I forgot about the specs and it has enough power to drive my Magico S1 MK2 and that is what I need.

 

Some may consider pre-amp and power amp superior than integrated but IMHO it all depends on the quality of the equipment itself and the matching between the pre and power.  General speaking, the price of pre + power is more than an integrated.

 

Since I believe in different cables will have an impact on the SQ, an integrated save me a lot on the extra power cable, interconnect, it is a plus to me.

 

However, I do not prefer to have the dacs, phono etc installed on an integrated, I prefer to have them external in their own individual chasis.

Cool. Which cables do you use? 

 

Which cable you mean? I think you can check my profile, it is all in there.
