Is there an integrated amp that can beat my...

YBA Passion Integre

I would get the Synergy IIi upgrade and call it a day. You might find something you like better but is it worth it? Is there something you don't like about your current Rowland gear? If so I wouldn't go with the Rowland intergrated, if not why change? I once owned a Synergy II with the battery supply and that was amazing. I put that combo in my "wish I still had it box".

wow, a SF phono 1 with a music hall tt, that is amazing! i wouldn't expect to see such a incredible phono stage with that set up.

can't suggest an integrated today, but good luck

What's wrong with you gear?

The Tenor are amazing but extremely expensive.

Under 10K, I would be ready to put my YBA Integre Passion against pretty much any integrated under 10K on the market... Overall, I beleive it would come out in the top 5 of all integrated on the market...

Then again, I havent't auditionned every integrated on the market but my gut feeling made me buy this unit. I guess it's a question of taste...

Just my opinion and taste.

I would agree that the YBA would be tough to beat. Also the Goldmund Integrated would be a top contendor. I don't sell either by the way.
