After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same?

Parted with three units - Ayre QX5/20 DAC, Ayre VX5/20 amp, and VAC Renaissance V preamp for a Gryphon Diablo 300 with DAC module.  Cleaned up the rack and sold a lot of interconnects and power cables.  Still use a DSA Phono2  for my two tonearms but otherwise loving the simpler look and equal to superior performance. 

If you are not married to the meters ,then Coda Audio design makes excellent products made in U.S.A Nelson Pass engineering team 

at $7k retail. Maybe a little less See Mike at Audio Archon , 3 power choices 

lower power higher 1st watts in pure class A .  No where else will you have 120 amps short term ,and dead quiet potted transformer ,not open core toroidal transformer and 3,000 Va , most are 6-800, 80+k capacitance ,

electronic BB class A preamplifier , and feel it’s a steal and One of the best against anything at $10 k  and 10 year warranty, 5 years transferrable warranty !!

I have a Pass INT-25.  While I moved from separates preamps / amplifiers to integrated amps years ago, I still use an external DAC and phono preamp.  Speaking for myself, I see no reason to have a separate line preamp and power amp these days.  

NO, why would I want my sound quality to go backwards?

I agree!

Going to an integrated amp does not mean sound quality goes backwards. It may or may not and a lot of it is highly subjective. Like with pretty much everything.

You have to try it to know. Buy from vendors with good return policy and there is little risk. You can’t know for sure until you try. It’s nice not having to deal with all those separate boxes and wires. If you have older gear don’t discount that technology improvements over the years can make a huge difference. What worked even just  ten years ago is not the same as what may work today.
