Best integrated for SF Guarneri Homage?

Hi

David Berning ZH-270

A very good synergistic match with the Guarneris

Cheers

I just tried a pre/power combo from Gryphon thanks to a loan from the dealer - the BelCanto and S100 were here for a week or so, my findings:

PROS
i) better bass control and energy
ii) nice headroom and around-the-speaker air reproduction
iii) great look and build quality as all Gryphon gear

CONS
i) not as magical and musical as my Acoustic Plan Sitar hybrids
ii) more fatigue after a couple of hours compared to my reference
iii) asking price to move does not justify the effort

I decided to keep my Sitar until other options become available.

Thanks to all the replies so far, de Bearning was not in my list and will definitely explore it.

Just a word to follow-up on this thread - I ended my search with a Viva Solista integrated amp, great match for my SF at just 27 watts, these Viva amps are something really serious to consider.
