I vote Devialet. It’s better than most if not all of the ones mentioned.

These 3 seem interesting:

Vitus RI-101
Gryphon Diablo 300
T+A 3100 HV



The Gryphon Diablo 300 surely will.

You can add the Luxman L-509X.

I have a factory upgraded Cary Audio SLP-05 with nice NOS tubes paired with 200.2 SS power amp. Wondering what expectations are rationale to move to one these SS integrateds? With Focal Diablo Utopia speakers and Shunyata Denali power conditioning?

jh901, I completely agree with you on your four choices of integrated amps. From all I have heard, these are also my top 4. I bought the T+A.
