Best Integrated, period.

Impossible to listen to an amp without source and speakers/headphones. The question is moot and I hope this thread dies here and now. Try another question, like what's a good integrated that goes well with (insert source, speakers, cables, room size dimensions, shape and treatment). Then we can have a conversation.

I'll be 59 next month.

Had my first hi-fi (turntable, mono amp, and single speaker) assembled when I was 9.

Actually I started building kit electronics at that time as well.

My hearing is as good or better than yours Grant but thanks for the concern.

Thanks Grant. . . I officially turned senior on August 30th!

Bill, I did not know you were an audiologist. . . how much do you charge for a full audiological test run?

I am tested every 24 months by the Veterans Administration for a service related issue.
