Levinson No. 383 v. Musical Fidelity Trivista 300

I like the new VAC Super Avatar...looks fantastic...sounded great at HE2003

I found the Levinson 383 to be slightly grainy and 2 dimensional, not especially musical either

I much prefer the Rowland and I prefer the Plinius 8200 MKII as well

Thank you all for your feedback!

Many opinions but few useful facts.NONE of the above users had both ML383 and MF trivista in one system. I had
them both(also Rowland)in identical system.TRIVISTA absolutely smoked ML 383 and ROwland in every audiophile
sense.IT is not even close guys.I use Sonus Faber Extremas
and they love power-Trivista has both power and finesse.Best piano/voice reproduction.

Best of luck in your choice..

I would listen to people who have used these amps with your speakers. There is so much variation in how components synergize together that you should probably listen to those who have similar components and speakers to you. To be consistent I will not throw another great integrated amp in that price range recommendation at you unless you want it. Email me off the thread if you do. Trust your ears. Good Luck,
