Best Interated amp hands down.

The Aronov Audio LS-960i is excellent, and although should run around $1600, used, there was one listed by JB Audio for $1250. This is a choice that does not have to be gotten rid of as you upgrade the rest of your components. More along the line of "best integrated." I have owned one for years, and it is a natural, and musical "big iron" tube component that requires no adjustments, although a tube design. I have never had anyone fail to be impressed when they heard it in my system, but it's too bad we can't always hear for ourselves every component before we buy it used on Audiogon. So, there is always some leap of faith involved, in exchange for getting more than we can really afford.
The google search showed JB's phone as (518)526-6925. And he accepts best offers, if you are ready to really buy.To reach Aronov Audio website one has to enter their name in search engine, google.com.

Frank Van Alstine's OmegaStar 200EX Integrated Amp is an excellent unit, but is currently out of production. The only problem was it cost too much to produce and was not profitable for him to build. The upgraded EX version has output stage similar to that used in the Fet Valve amplifiers. Frank did have a demo OmegaStar 200 (not EX) available last month for around $800.

You will have to spend more than $1,000.00 to get the best integrated, hands down!

i own mf a300 and i would not part with it for any amount of money it plays all types of music well
