The Hungarian is here and staying for ever.

So you all may have seen my review I am only going to say this.
The Audio Hungary Qualiton X 200 is staying and will be here for a long, long time.
It is replacing my Simaudio 600 V2 and I am not looking back.
This tube integrated amazes me with it's sound stage, detail, depth, breadth, speed and flexibility with all genres.
 No it is not your typical Asian eBay amazon syrup cheap tube amp.
Step up and try real tubes in a real integrated.
Just saying this is real world gear not crap hyped up by Sterophile or the other rags.

KT170 took this thing to an all new level.

Curious at what wattage does the X200 transition from Class A to Class A/B?

I would try to keep an open mind while listening but all those circuit boards in each of the three iterations of the AH integrated give me pause. My experience is that tubes, circuit boards, and push pull negative feedback a la Audio Research can be good if you don't mind then sounding like solid state designs and that if you are going to go pure fundamental tube with no negative feedback, you need excellent trannies, simplistic circuits, and P2P. There are no absolutes in audio and these are just my general biases, your mileage may well vary.

So happy to see a happy music lover. 

A little less useful is the paean to an individual gadget, without comparison. How'd it stack up against a Prima Luna Evo 200? Or a McIntosh? Or even a Ming-da? For tubelovers..

Thanks. I’m considering buying the amp. It seems very well built and the reviews are awesome. I like the Spartan eastern block look.
